A Vision For Europe

[andischatz]

No, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Civic or any car, in fact. But I think this is such a massively good thing, that I feel I need to spread the word

The Vision for Europe is the outcome of an unprecedented collaboration between academics, politicians, writers, community leaders and both secular and religious non-governmental organizations. Its centrepiece is the so-called Brussels Declaration, a one-page summary of a restatement of our common values, the liberal values of individual freedom, democracy and the rule of law on which modern European civilisation is based. They are not the values of a single culture or tradition but are our shared values, the values that enable Europeans of all backgrounds, cultures and traditions to live together in peace and harmony.

I just wanted to alert you all to this wonderful website, which I discovered recently. It's a massively good cause to support and no-one is even asking for money either. Just a (virtual) signature can contribute to the Europe of the future not becoming an increasingly backward, fundamentalist and authoritarian place. Please check it out, it really makes sense!

Please forgive me this untypical (for me) detour into politics, I promise it won't happen again!
