Hell, The Americans even fought a war over something similar to this if slavery is taken out of the picture. Could that happen there?

Well I think part of the problem is that the EU has been generating publicity for itself in various forms for 50 years. The opposition has not been coherent, nor working nearly as long.

I forget who said it, but it was once said a lie repeated often enough gets accepted as the truth. And that's exactly what we're seeing - people believing they can maintain their identity and sovereignty by pooling both with other nations. It won't work. In the long run, I am sure, people will see it.

If I were Irish and in Ireland I'd be one of the fringe nuts. I understand that the Irish are pretty angry about this, they really hate this being shoved down their throat.

I agree Ivan, it's horrible. I bet they are angry as all get out, and with very good reason! This is moral blackmail, coersion, whatever. I dearly hope the Irish hold the line and maintain their "freedom" from the EU.

As for Politicians believing the masses are stupid...don't they all? Well, they do until the masses rear up and give them the kick in the backside that they so richly deserve. I'm polishing my boots as we speak! :-)

Woo hoo!! YOU GO GIRL!! Go kick some fierce Irish arse for we ancestors in the States, eh??
