The EU

Being a provincial American, I admit to not paying much attention to what's going on in Europe with regard to their specific political systems, politicians, and internal affairs.

So, this commentary about the effects of the European Union was very disturbing. I hate the very idea of it. I have no horse in the race, but I want Italy to be Italian....and England to be English. I'm horrified by the idea of an amorphous socialist dusky gloaming grey sameness throughout the continent!

And if this writer's facts are even close to true, the limitations on personal liberty, by unelected commisars is frightening indeed. His conclusion is that it can only end in war. And given the history of Europe and the natural national pride of human beings, I fear he might be right.

Submitting to this universal bureaucratic leveling blandness is, in effect, surrendering liberty. It really cannot be tolerated.

And WAR is always preferable to slavery.
