Should the EU citizens vote for the presidents
Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:03:40 -0000
If the EU wants to be truly democratic and show willingness to listen to the people of the EU then the president of the European parliament and, more importantly, the EU commission president should be elected by the people of Europe. This act will have four benefits: It will make the politicians more accountable to the citizens. It will give a greater voice to the citizens. It will increase the interest of the EU across Europe. It will give the presidents proper mandates to preside over the EU citizens. I am willing to start a movement that lobbies for this change if there is enough agreement to start with.

No Passport in Liechtenstein
Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:25:00 -0000
I'm
back in Switzerland after my holidays in New York, and yesterday I
decided to take a drive over to the border with Liechtenstein to see if
they had set anything up as a result of the Schengen discrepency.
As I expected, there is no new passport check along the section of the
Rhine seperating the tiny principality from Switzerland, but
interestingly, I didn't see any sign of the reported surveilance systems that they've now set up either.
Switzerland joined
the Schengen zone, which allows passport-free travel between European
countries, last month. However Liechtenstein has not yet joined,
because the EU is trying to strong-arm
it into cracking down on tax cheats before it will allow the
principality in. Liechtenstein, which has had an open border with
Switzerland since 1923, is now wedged between two Schengen countries
and in theory, Switzerland must now set up border checks with
Liechtenstein for the first time. This could be a big headache because
for all intents and purposes Liechtenstein is pretty much part of
Switzerland. It uses the Swiss franc, relies on Switzerland's military
for defense, and many people live in one country and work in the other.
Aside from a few small signs at the border, there is little
differentiating the principality from its neighbor.

As the euro celebrates its tenth anniversary and Slovakia becomes the 16th member of the eurozone, British public opinion still remains opposed to joining the single currency despite the falling pound, according to a new poll.

Bulgaria To Recognize Wirtland
Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:45:25 -0000
**Bulgaria** may become the world's first nation to officially recognize **Wirtland** (http://www.Wirtland.com), the first sovereign web-based country. On December 22th Bulgarian daily newspaper "Telegraph" quoted Mr. Dragovest Goranov, Spokesman of Foreign Ministry of Bulgaria, who discussed the possibility of recognition of Wirtland with correspondent. "More than 180 people have joined Wirtland already, about half of them being our compatriots", - Bulgarian newspaper points out. Official recognition of internet-based worlds is becoming less unusual now, after Sweden was followed by other nations in recognizing Second Life in 2007. The interest of Bulgarians to Wirtland started after a television show at Bulgarian Nova Television. "Telegraph" dedicated a full page's article to Wirtland on December 6th. Bulgarian language is becoming increasingly popular in Wirtland. Other popular ethnic group in the first web-based country is Argentinean. Importantly, the ethnic groups actively interact between each other, overriding the language barriers with ease. Wirtland Citizenship Application forms are already available in English, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Portuguese. Chinese and Russian forms will be released soon. Wirtland warmly greets the interest from Bulgarian people and government, and hopes for building mutually beneficial relations with Sofia. ----------------------------- More: [http://wirtland.blogspot.com/2008/12/bulgaria-to-recognize-wirtland.html](http://wirtland.blogspot.com/2008/12/bulgaria-to-recognize-wirtland.html "").

It is an experiment into legitimacy and self-sustainability of a country without its own soil.

Woman's Sexual Infidelity
Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:49:14 -0000
What may come as a surprise to you is that women do cheat on their husbands, far more than is acknowledged by society. In fact, it is a very common occurrence (68.7 percent). Women are quite discrete in their actions and are very capable of planning and hiding their infidelity. In our study of over 1,700 married women, 87.9 percent of those who were having or had had at least one affair said their husbands did not know. One facet of woman's affairs that is not commonly known, is that one in three of the unfaithful wives selected another woman for the extramarital tryst and another quarter were bisexual in their preference. Seems that old fashioned fucking is not the motivation for over half the women. Are you having an affair now, or have you had one in the past? Have you even thought of sharing your bed with another partner? And, did you know that affairs, if done for the "right" reason are not only beautiful, but advisable and highly desirable? To aid our understanding, we encourage you to add your voice to this. Visit our web site at www.esybron.org and participate in the forum discussion and/or complete the adultery questionnaire.
Tallinn Guide: Restaurant Kloostri Ait Review
Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:12:00 -0000
Located next door to the Danish cultural center, Kloostri Ait is a high-valuable place for all those who fancy a nice dinner and ambiance without being forced to wear a tie or impressively acrobatic heels.
