Preserving the greater economic cooperation & freedom of the current EU arrangement while rejecting the centralization of political power included in the proposed European Constitution was a wise thing for the French and Dutch people to do.

It was more than wise.

While I'm sure that the fragmentation (or polarization) of parliamentary politics played it's unfailing role in preventing anything of great pitch from happening, I do hope that they rejected that certain 450 page document as being unworthy of their sweat, tears, or time.

Can anyone here seriously state that we would have approved a constitution that was 450 pages long?

And, in my eyes, the Constitution is the greatest document ever penned, and Jefferson was a giant in whose shadow I pale.

Modern day politicians are not worthy to shine our founding father's shoes.
