Well how *should* we do it? Lojban is supposed to be culturally
neutral, but it seems that if we decide on saying "let's <VERB>"
either as a first-person plural imperative of the <VERB> or as
something else it's going to end up being culturally biased. To me the
concept that "let's <VERB>" is an imperative form seems completely
natural, but it may be only because that's how it is in my native
language.
