I'm pretty sure it's regarded as a bad form to make direct comparisions like that without accounting for the vast differences in communications, economy and pretty much everything else you know...

"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

@ Watchman: I concur.
@ horst nordfink: I don't like the centralistic and only partly democratic attitudes of the EU central administration that much, too. Esp. if you have also to deal with EU law (as I have to do) sometimes you feel the pressure to say words which polite people should not use. And the difference between the states is a problem, the UK is for example a big hindrance to get social standards for a worthy labour for everybody, not only the upper two-thirds. The EU has merits however, it is also a mighty economy. But if the EU only were a method to stop European wars (and it is) I would rather suffer a lot from its existence instead of having back "the good old time".

The queen commands and we'll obey
Over the Hills and far away.
(perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)
Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
(later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)
