Lost passport, and no embassy in country - can I travel without a passport (i have a police report and photocopy of passport)?

No, it would be GUARANTEED immigration suicide, and you'd not be coming back 'til 2025. The USCIS gives you AP upon request, like your buddy would give you his gun if you ask nicely. But if you use it, you are f*cked.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
