Digital petitions

In the “old days” when you did not agreed with something and you wanted to change that by collecting autographs, it was hard work. You needed to visit the people physically and ask them face to face to sign their autograph to support your statement. When you collected enough autographs, in order to have a strong foundation for your courageous try to convince a stubborn person or institute, you handed the autographs over and hoped for the best. Now a days, the sweaty and ungrateful process of collecting the few autographs you can get for a greater cause is evolved into an easy and grateful process of collecting many times the amount of potential autographs you can get than before. An great example is the unfortunate news about the dangerous striker Ruud van Nistelrooij not joining our National team to the World Cup. This news seems for some Dutch football lovers a problem and consequently is the reason why someone started a website in order to get the Dutch striker to the World Cup. Could take the old way of collecting autographs weeks of precious time, with the help of the website ruudmoetmee.nl the number of collected autographs was after a few days already more than 18.000!

This shows again what a pitty it is...

Although I think Ruud van Nistelrooij appreciate this petition very much, everybody with a common sense knows that, as pitiful as it is, it will not work. Besides that, it is a very nice gesture to the Dutch striker and who knows, what can happen before the World Cup starts.
