I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

John McCain and his involvement in the financial crisis known as The Keating Scandal
Keating Economics.com is running a documentary on the financial scandal John McCain was heavily involved in back in the 80s; a financial scandal that bears an eerie resemblance to today's financial crisis.
I had to blog this after seeing how low the McCain/Palin team are prepared to go ...
I have friends in the States, I want to be able to visit them. At the moment, I have to apply for a visa as a New Zealander, as of early next year, I have to submit to fingerprinting and I have to come in knowing I can lose my laptop and other equipment due to Homelands Security measures.
I'm pretty sure it's simpler to get into Iran or any other country in the world.
If I could vote, it would be for change and the Republicans look like they're offering the same old, same old.
They both explain what some American residents mentioned not having read anything about yet.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/020708-civil-liberties-groups-sue-dhs.html is another interesting article on how some Americans are choosing to fight those measures.
