الدافع الرئيس للتسجيل و الحصول على بطاقة إنتخاب هو الشعور بأمكانية إحداث تغيير. من المحزن أن تصدر تلك البطاقة ولو جزئيا بنفس الطرق التي تأمل أن تراها تختفي.
اليوم ذهبت الى قسم الشرطة لأستخراج بعض الأوراق. صحيفة الحالة الجنائية و صور من شهادة الميلاد و السؤال عن بطاقة الإنتخاب.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which anyone can edit, reaches a new milestone. In a record 5 years, thousands of volunteers created the world's largest encyclopedia. It is probably one of the largest internet collaboration projects ever attempted.
From the press release:

This is a coca cola PR film made in the late 40s or early 50s in Egypt ... super cool and very funny. Worth the download.
Finally a live webcam in Egypt. I love webcams. Now this website allows you to take a look at the pyramids …
Italian researchers published a research last November that suggests the condition of "falling in love" appears to be associated with elevated levels of a nerve growth factor in the bloodstream.
Enzo Emanuele of the University of Pavia and colleagues suspected that a diversity of biological mechanisms might be involved in precipitating the mental state called "falling in love," a state characterized by obsessive thinking about one's beloved, craving for union with him or her, euphoria …
This post is not pro or against the boycott of Danish products. I am just asking you a question. An ethical one.
