Video:Montenegro Votes On Independence

montenegro votes on independence

the montenegrin prime minister milo djukanovic has campaigned 10 years to restore the country's independence lost in 1918. his camp claimed victory on sunday night in the vote to decide whether the country should dissolve its union with serbia.

his camp had secured 55.5 percent, slightly above the 55 percent threshold set by the european union for the independence drive to be accepted. official results, however, are not yet due until later on monday.

milo djukanovic, addressing supporters of his independence drive, said: "tonight, with the majority decision by the citizens of montenegro, the independence of the country has been renewed."

awaiting official results, predrag bulatovic, leader of the opponent campaign, refused to concede defeat although he admitted trailing by nearly 10 percent.

if montenegro splits from serbia it would be the final divorce among the six republics of former yugoslavia, which began to fall apart in bloodshed in the early 1990s.

if upheld, as appeared likely, the result will dissolve a partnership with serbia going back to 1918 in various forms.

however, if the vote for independence was to slip below the 55 percent threshold, the eu has said that the independence drive would have failed.

nothing is as american as muppets (sort of), so it’s only fitting that they celebrate the fourth of july holiday with their rendition of stars and stripes forever. although, does anybody else find it hilarious that the swedish chef is included in this? patriotic american song?

Video:Declaration Of Independence Reply

the court of king george iii london, england

july 10, 1776

mr. thomas jefferson c/o the continental congress philadelphia, pennsylvania

dear mr. jefferson:

we have read your "declaration of independence" with great interest. certainly, it represents a considerable undertaking, and many of your statements do merit serious consideration. unfortunately, the declaration as a whole fails to meet recently adopted specifications for proposals to the crown, so we must return the document to you for further refinement. the questions which follow might assist you in your process of revision:

1. in your opening paragraph you use the phrase "the laws of nature and nature`s god." what are these laws? in what way are they the criteria on which you base your central arguments? please document with citations from the recent literature.

2. in the same paragraph you refer to the "opinions of mankind." whose polling data are you using? without specific evidence, it seems to us the "opinions of mankind" are a matter of opinion.

3. you hold certain truths to be "self-evident." could you please elaborate. if they are as evident as you claim then it should not be difficult for you to locate the appropriate supporting statistics.

4. "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" seem to be the goals of your proposal. these are not measurable goals. if you were to say that "among these is the ability to sustain an average life expectancy in six of the 13 colonies of at last 55 years, and to enable newspapers in the colonies to print news without outside interference, and to raise the average income of the colonists by 10 percent in the next 10 years," these could be measurable goals. please clarify.

5. you state that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government...." have you weighed this assertion against all the alternatives? what are the trade-off considerations?

6. your description of the existing situation is quite extensive. such a long list of grievances should precede the statement of goals, not follow it. your problem statement needs improvement.

7. your strategy for achieving your goal is not developed at all. you state that the colonies "ought to be free and independent states," and that they are "absolved from all allegiance to the british crown." who or what must change to achieve this objective? in what way must they change? what specific steps will you take to overcome the resistance? how long will it take? we have found that a little foresight in these areas helps to prevent careless errors later on. how cost-effective are your strategies?

8.who among the list of signatories will be responsible for implementing your strategy? who conceived it? who provided the theoretical research? who will constitute the advisory committee? please submit an organization chart and vitas of the principal investigators.

9. you must include an evaluation design. we have been requiring this since queen anne`s war.

10. what impact will your problem have? your failure to include any assessment of this inspires little confidence in the long-range prospects of your undertaking.

11. please submit a pert diagram, an activity chart, itemized budget, and manpower utilization matrix.

we hope that these comments prove useful in revising your "declaration of independence." we welcome the submission of your revised proposal. our due date for unsolicited proposals is july 31, 1776. ten copies with original signatures will be required.

sincerely,

management analyst to the british crown
