I guess it would be nice to be able to vote, but I understand it being a
privilege of the citizens of that country. I could apply for citizenship and
be able to vote. But I don't know if jury duty should be a citizens' only
task. I mean, I'm a legal resident, homeowner, tax payer; maybe I should be
allowed to be part of the justice system.
And talking about justice, I love the "legal alien" term, always makes me
feel
like I truly belong to the group, other than my green skin, 3 eyes and of
course, a pair of antennas. LOL!
