You just had your release. I'm afraid you'll have to wait another 15 years for the next one.

If you're in the US, your gas prices are so freakin' low that you SHOULD be charged per km (sorry, per mile).

Increase the price of gas, or charge per mile.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. England certainly doesn't have a party with representation that is centre left, and even in Canada and Australia (NDP and Greens respectively) the parties are by no means major ones and certainly not in government. To really look for a centre left party you need to look to places like Sweden (Social Democrats, the biggest party there although not currently in power), but really, even in Europe there aren't any real centre left parties (let alone proper left wing). http://www.politicalcompass.org/euchart

About 2 months ago, I registered as an overseas voter. About a month ago, I received a "sample" ballot pack in the mail. About 2 weeks ago, I received the actual ballot pack which I filled out, put in the purple reply envelope, signed, and paid the AUD$4 to send it back (worth it for me). Before filling out, I tried my darndest to find out as much as I could about local measures that I was able to vote on. I'm registered in California, but was disappointed at the lack of options for some seats I was voting for. I'll have to get back over there at some stage and see about changing that. Overall, I know I'm going to end up being tremendously disappointed, but I'm happy to be involved in the process. And it's interesting to see how other countries do it.
