Here is Exhibit A for why Globalization is a very bad idea.

Unelected bureaucrats telling people, and supposedly sovereign nations, what they have to accept.

All while the "capital" of Europe has large areas w/I its borders that are beyond control of Local LEO.

The absurd irony of the post-modern elite.

You heap fallacious praise on the bureaucratic toadies in the EU, when you call them elites. A far better term is "Dolts With Delusions Of Grandeur," or something of that sort--maybe "Dolts With Pretensions Of Intellect."

You are right about the absurd irony. The "politically correct" dolts always remind me of the Academics that Dean Swift's Gulliver encountered on the Island of Laputa.
