Rome is perhaps the most impressive city in the world – at least for those with any sense of history. A magical place of multiple civilisations that repays visiting many times over Wholesale Sven Baertschi Jersey , one of the main problems with visiting this city is knowing the best things to do in Rome. If you’ve not been to Rome you will, most likely, have already visited The Colosseum, its piazzas, monuments and churches in galleries Wholesale Alex Burmistrov Jersey , history lessons or at the cinema. But if you have been to Rome, it’s a city that leaves you wanting more, and this guide will help you find the best things to do in Rome.


Rome, home to the Pope and heart of the catholic religion, is a city of churches. Some grand and ancient Wholesale Jacob Markstrom Jersey , others smaller and more intimate, many of them harbour important artifacts, works of art or beautiful frescos, and all are free to enter, and a church crawl is one of the best things to do in Rome. There are too many to visit them all but the top three must surely include St. Peter’s Basilica Wholesale Brandon Sutter Jersey , the Basilica of St. John Lateran and Santa Maria Maggiore. First a temple and now a church, a visit to the Pantheon is another of the best things to do in Rome.


If your love affair with Rome springs from the idea of a beautiful girl on the back of a Vespa – Roman Holiday style – the Bocca della Verita (The Mouth of Truth) is one of the best things to do in Rome. The city’s great sights and sites, which said girl scoots by, The Colosseum, the Castel Sant’Angelo Wholesale Derek Dorsett Jersey , Spanish Steps and the beautiful Baroque waterworks of the Trevi Fountain are also some of the best things to do in Rome, and featured in the film. Seeing Roman Holiday is one of the best things to do on the way to Rome if you’re flying. Or for greater authenticity one of the best things in Rome could be seeing the city from the back of a Vespa or Lambretta.


The great works of art decorating the walls and roofs of Rome’s churches whet many an appetite for the glow of fleshy pinks and the chubby faces of cherubs, and for many visitors seeing the art is one of the best things to do in Rome. The Galleria Nazionale Di San Luca is attached to an art academy and its collection is open to the public in the mornings, or one of the biggest museum complexes, the Capitoline Museums is free on the last Sunday of the month.

I have been concerned about governmentpolitical apathy for some time. Especially Wholesale Brendan Leipsic Jersey , when it comes to local government. A unique idea has come out of Nevada.


Daniel Rosen has announced his intent to run for U.S. Congress. If elected, he promises to vote as instructed by his constituents on his web site. He claims that ?Registered voters in the 2nd District of Nevada will have total control over how I vote. I'm not running an opinion poll. It's a binding process.?


I see problems of only having 'registered voters in the 2nd District of Nevada? vote on-line.


1) What kind of procedures will be needed to insure that only 'registered voters in the 2nd District of Nevada? cast their votes on-line?


2) Will every registered voter will be given a password?


3) What about those 'registered voters? who do not have access to, or the knowledge of how to operate a computer? Would Mr. Rosen purchase computers and classes for everyone?


4) Or, would the computer dummies become non-factors under this program?


Mr. Rosen correctly points out that even Congressmen don't read all the legislation they vote on. Yet, he somehow believes that if given this power Wholesale Christopher Tanev Jersey , citizens will read all bills upon which his vote will be cast. He states, ?apathy comes from people viewing themselves as perfectly powerless, and once people are really convinced that their opinions count, then I think that apathy will disappear.?


Mr. Rosen's delusions don't stop there. It gets worse. He further states, ?I hope the system will be developed so that legislators are bound by law to follow the dictates of their constituents.?


What may I ask Wholesale Michael Del Zotto Jersey , has become of leadership? Has it really come to the point where we don't even want our representatives to think for themselves?


I have long believed in the quote of James Clarke, ?A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman thinks of the next generation.? Under which category would Mr. Rosen fall? Since it looks like he is only interested in getting re-elected, I would classify him as a politician, not a statesman. What this country needs is a whole lot more statesmen!


So, as a observer and pontificator on local politics Wholesale Bo Horvat Jersey , why does Mr. Rosen fascinate me? He only wants to destroy national politics. This idea of direct democracy has to be stopped before it finds its way down to the local level.


Imagine trying to decide whose street gets fixed with on-line voting. How about voting on a new squad car? Do we need another employee in the Clerk's Office?


How about local judges? They are elected officials. Must their plea bargains be approved on-line?


The resumes for every teaching position are placed on the web, and citizens vote who gets the job?


Mr. Rosen must be stopped.


Did I mention he was a composer and musician? Maybe that explains his naive delusions?
