	Latvian Way - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Latvian Way was founded in 1993, by a group of former activists of Latvian Popular Front and Latvian exiles which had returned to Latvia after it regaining independence.
		Despite that, Latvian Way remained a powerful force in Latvian politics and was a part of every coalition government in Latvia from July 1993 to November 2002.
		Latvian Way regained some ground in European Parliament Election in June 2004 with 6.5% of vote but it is still facing an uncertain future and the difficult task of regaining voter's trust.

	Latvian mythology
		Latvians have had no national state or significant kingdom before the 1918 when the Republic of Latvia was proclaimed.
		This was established to strengthen the Latvian identity through a Latvian religion supposedly coming from the glorious ancient past, intended as strictly national, but at the same time very similar to the neo-paganism known in the rest of the world.
		Although the general view that Latvian gods had households the same way as the Latvian peasants did (the eternal problem out of this - what was the original: the heavenly or the earthly), it is hard to prove for sure.

	sciforums.com - Latvian Paganism
		The Latvian language does not have a word for 'to have.' The Latvians say 'to me is.' Utilizing the old Baltic form 'turëti,' Brastinð called a person who holds or possesses Dievs (God) according to the ancient Latvian tradition, a Dievturis.
		The Latvian way of viewing the world is not only a historical reality, but a living force consistent with all the criteria of the new paradigm thinking in science.
		In Latvian mythologies she is seen racing across the sky in her golden chariot pulled by two fiery steeds, or sailing the sky in her golden boat which sinks into the seas each evening.

	Mortensen, Mari-Ann Herloff: The Latvian Thing. Narratives of Place and Identity among Local and Diasporic Latvians
		I have chosen to use the term Western Latvians partly because most informants seemed to take no offense by it and partly in order to highlight the fact that the "Westernness" of the returnees was a significant issue in the relation between the two groups.
		The narrative thus constructed the Latvianness of the present to be out of the hands of the homeland population, which provided the diasporic cultural practices with a sense of urgency or purpose and almost religious meaning.
		Local Latvians' use of everyday life must be separated from the scientific distinction between public and private in socialist states, as the local narrative includes public and so-called "Soviet" practices and private or "informal" spheres of life, both of which informants claim to have invested with a "Latvian" content and meaning.

	Latvian cardinal: Spiritually, gay militants more dangerous than Soviets
		According to LifeSiteNews.com, Latvian Cardinal Janis Pujats on Monday warned that homosexual militancy is more dangerous than the militancy Latvia experienced in Soviet times because while Soviet forces oppressed religion, gay militants corrupt its underlying values.
		All of these arguments and more, by the way, were clearly enunciated by historians about a century ago; societies progress from bondage to freedom, freedom to prosperity, prosperity to license, and license back to bondage.
		Either way, the suicide rate shows that aomething is desperately wrong among the gay grievance group in general, whether Fundamentalism is allegedly a cause or not.
