but given the tendency for the European politicos to promote a United
Europe, I find the border crossings still quite interesting.

In all fairness, Europe is made up of different =countries=. The United
States is all one country. I expect border crossing between Spain and
Portugal to be different than from Connecticut to Rhode Island.

Jose,
that's the way you and I understood it to be since ... forever. But when
I was in Germany awhile back the political powers were all squawking about
how a United Europe was going to stand as a peer to the United States in
technology, medicine, financial power, and a load of other crap. We don't
really hear about that here in the US and maybe I just happened to be there
during a time when the topic was very "newsworthy". Nevertheless, if Europe
wants to claim its united status (as they are attempting to do with the
Euro) then let's measure them by the same yardstick.
