Many years ago, before the formation of the European Union, the world--including me--looked to a united Europe, patterned after the United States of America, as one of the great events of world history.

The European Union was hailed as the fulfillment of that great dream.

It failed.

The European death wish, which brought Europe to the brink of suicide so many times, from which the USA saved Europe so many times, proved just as deadly to a European Union as to any other European endeavor.

Suicide is in the heart of Europe.

Suicide is in the heart of the European Union.

In fact, it appears that the European Union will enable Europe finally to commit suicide, where all the religious wars, the plagues and famines, the World Wars, the Cold War, Naziism, communism, and all other suicidal efforts failed.

Continental Europe maybe. Unfortunately, the proximity of Britain to the European continent means this will always affect us. Any attempt at remaining completely aloof from events on the continent has often cost us dearly. Personally, I wish we could push Great Britain far out into the Atlantic to get away, sadly Brexit cannot change geographical reality.

EU could be swell if were lead by right thinking men instead of socialists. Unfortunately right thinking men are a minority so it friggin sucks.
