Dare I say: "essential to Europe's future is not to be governed or controled by any outside entity which likely has its own (hidden) agenda to meet"?

On paper the European Union might be the largest economic consumer force currently. But on the outside it certainly doesn't look that way. Looks more like apples ready for the taking. Keep that attitude up for a couple of more years and then it certainly will be reality. And most likely stay that way because others will have learned from our mistakes by then and thus will not be likely to repeat them.

"Given how much energy it takes to become, be and stay the underdog one has to wonder what kind of (brain) power is required to transform such vast amounts of energy into so much waste."

Something doesn't add up here. It's almost as if we want to. Or wants us to.
