t... 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 -- 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. -- Jim Carter Rogers, Arkansas |

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?

Those that just want to know what button to push, and those that want to know what happens when they push the button. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Sovereignty- sch'movereignty. The only sovereignty anymore is cash (hmm..
sovereigns). Political borders are increasingly illusions. That's what this ridiculous adventure in Iraq is all about. One purpose is to make a small cadre of goons a SHYTELOAD of cash. Another is to control oil reserves in the region as leverage against emerging European and Chinese commercial markets. The first task is to confuse and distract the populace with increasingly meaningless drivel/propaganda called "News". You know, the crap they stick between TV commercials. Next, consolidate print media into the hands of another small cadre of goons to hamfist occasional threads of truth into spin that looks like an Orwellian acid trip. Then package a proposition for illegal invasion in a simple package fit for a sheep's sensorium, wrap tightly in the word "Terrorism, Terrorism, Terrorism" (and repeat ad nauseum), execute proposed invasion against basic sense and many international laws/treaties. Stir vigorously. pour into a chilled glass and enjoy. gaaah...stop me before I get carried away. Jose wrote: Talk is talk.
