What sadly many Americans don't get - being that most are under educated on foreign events and get most of their news from sub par sources such as talk radio personalities - is that the EU is no going towards "Socialisim" per say....What the EU is striving for is a heavily regulated free market eurocracy.

A "heavily regulated free market eurocracy"? Talk about the ULTIMATE oxymoron. What a crock. How dare you make crass generalizations about under-educated "sub par" Americans. We knew enough to know this constitution was going to go down in flames.

I choked on that one too, N.

What sadly most Europeans don't get - is that they don't have a clue. No wonder they are in such an economic malaise.

That is because the EU is an oxymoron - free market yet regulated - that is its problem, my sub par fellow American. Sort of like how NAFTA is about free trade yet is regulated like hell.
