A Cafe Mocha for a Constitution!

One thing that I did discover quite fast was that the prices on this Emerald Isle are quite low compared to what I'm used to. Nearly 1:3 as a general rule, something 1:4 on alcohol and books and so on. But, today I really did experience the difference to its full brutal beauty. As a part of an essay on the Irish constitution I did buy the Constitution in the University Bookshop to use as a source for my text (always a idea to ready what you perhaps have to criticize as a part of a task). For this little book, some 230 page and in both Irish and English, I payed the huge amount of €2.54. Today, as a part of my continuous war against the flue, I went to the Quinn School of Business. Not that I have anything there to do, but they do, for one or an other reason, the best coffee shop at the campus. Strange that, who places who embraces economy always have much better facilities than others, which again perhaps explain the Arts more social democratic nature? Equal students, equal facilities. Anyway, I went up to the Insomnia store in first floor and ordered Café Mocha, and to gain my final victory over the flue I took a large one. For that I did pay €2.55. The coffee cost more than the Constitution! No I finally understand why the Irish rejected the Lisbon Treaty; they are skilled in the matter of Constitutional rights, and therefore saw the problems the European Constitution would give Ireland. It have to be one of the most clever ways of doing the people more included, or perhaps, more enlighten when it's comes to the way the country functions. Let the Constitution cost less than Café Mocha. I would love to see that happens back home; the 1814 Constitution to €4.30. I guess we are the most Constitutional conservative people in Europe, so why is it so little available? Every home should have the Constitution, and we should at least be able to understand some of the most crucial articles as well, so that’s my suggestion; Constitution and Mocha for 50 crowns at Narvesen. One thing to learn from the Irish.
