The thing that I pick up from your post is that even after 13 years of living in the US, playing taxes (I assume) and generally participating in day-to-day life you aren't allowed to vote without being a citizen.
I am eternally grateful to NZ as my adopted country that they they allowed me to participate in the democratic process as soon as I was committed enough to become a resident.
My mother country (The UK) didn't allow me to vote once I was no longer ordinarily resident. Which makes sense when you think about it.
Do you think that should change? How on earth would ordinary folk go about that over there? (Over here it would be easy, surely, you'd just add Helen Clark as one of your Facebook friends)... -
Jan Grefstad's Hollywood Cinema, Avondale. The opening credits of the movie I was watching stopped a couple of times and had to be re-spooled. Afterwards, the guy who does everything there (and now I wish I knew his name) was at the bottom of the stairs apologising and handing out free tickets. My favourite cinema.
