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.

Talk is talk. It's one thing to link one's currencies together (and
after that, changing the name is only symbolic). It's quite another
thing to link one's constitutions together, and surrender one's
soveriginity. I don't see that happening. I don't even see noises in
that direction.

When you were in Germany, were the German political powers talking about
living under France's rules, or Spain's?
