gee kage, that's a lot of anger right there.
i'm not sure why it is aimed at me, as i am only pointing out the flaws in a political project that was masquerading as an economic one...................... and i grant you; then saying "i told you so" when collapse arises from the contradictions.
i realise being smug isn't a very attractive character trait, but i don't see how i merit so much vitriol?
you do realise my most of my objection to 'the project' was precisely because i didn't see other people inventing a family identity they didn't have, and thus the euro would create precisely the ill-feeling that we are watching spread across the continent right now.
if ever-closer-union had stopped with mastricht then we might instead be happy neighbours right now rather than resented drunk uncles/feared violent patriarchs.
but i truly feel if this foolishness is not publicly ridiculed then we will continue on chasing our tails inventing ever more elaborate post-national constructs to circumvent the even-mounting public discontent at illegitimate government. someone has to do it, and i have manfully signed up for the job. to much opprobrium it might be added! :)
this is my objection.
so tell me why my (english) ingrate self generates such ill-feeling? is it because the emperor does not like being told that he is wearing no clothes......
[edit] and why am i a leech? my country signed up to the single market, not a federal union. [/edit]
