I'm a native Brazilian and I practice my english by writing texts that aren't meant to be published and talking to myself when I'm walking home. This could be an excellent alternative to improve my english. I'll certainly get in touch with CNA people in my hometown :-)

I don't think so, pal. There is absolutely no evidence that Eich would be a real threat of freedom of speech inside Mozilla. He stepped down because of pression over his political views, which has nothing to do with his competence or the way he treats people.

They are not right on this one. Eich was clearly persecuted politically.

Sorry to tell you, but this kind of system does not exist in reality. Heads of states in all States are above some laws and there are plentiful of reasons for this.
And by the way, if you think is undemocratic to have an unelected head of state, just think about the reasons that supreme court members are not elected. Democracy has its limits :-)
