It’s always positive if one knows how to express one’s need for coffee in foreign languages.
And then to a completely different topic. I’m writing an interesting essay for my advanced sociology class. The other day I bumped into a very fascinating story about Democracy in Latvia. There is a website called Manabalss, where citizens may propose and sign proposals for legislation to the Latvian parliament. 10,000 signatures are needed before the parliament will take the issue on their agenda. How cool isn’t that?
The European Union actually has something similar in the European Citizens’ Initiative. However, gathering 1 000 000 signatures from 7 countries might be require more effort and mobilisation. I believe that the Lativan version of this idea might be more effective.
