IWouldLikeToBeAnonymous

I like the idea you're presenting, but I don't see how to apply it in practice. How can I get out of the car at the same time as not moving out into the woods or something? How can I do that and still use my own native language in my daily life? Trying to make a change and to have a foolish belief in the steering wheel's capabilities are the only options in such a case as mine.

If you're saying that you would like there to only be negative rights, then yeah I agree with you. When it comes to the part where you say that there is no point in giving the current system any credit, I do not agree with you. It sucks, yes, but in my country there are, for example, socialist parties which together amount to at least 50% of the total votes. If all people who are now voting for an increase in individual freedom suddenly stopped doing so, these groups of parties would get into power more often than they are already. It's the same thing with this initiative. It's about creating a debate around the issue and steering things in the right direction.

The European Union has citizen initiatives which, if 1 000 000 signatures are collected, will be passed through to the commission for discussion. There is currently one initiative called "Weed like to talk" up and running (terrible name I know). Any thoughts on this? Are there any Europeans here on this board who are interested in this matter? I for one believe that it will have little to no direct impact because even if the EU would go through with it, the countries themselves would refuse the EU to poke around in their laws regarding narcotics. However, if enough votes are collected an international debate will occur, and politicians around the union will in turn notice the growing number of potential votes to be gained from a campaign related to the legalization of cannabis. Reason has already written an article on the subject: http://reason.com/blog/2014/02/24/citizens-initiative-seeks-to-legalize-ma Current number of votes: https://ec.europa.eu/citizens-initiative/REQ-ECI-2013-000023/public/map.do Collection of signatures: https://ec.europa.eu/citizens-initiative/REQ-ECI-2013-000023/public/Does anyone know where I could recommend this delightful radio channel to maybe talk about this initiative? It would be great if as many people as possible could become aware of it as basically not one of the newspapers or TV news channels in Europe have reported on it. I'm a bit new on this board, have mercy.
