Hey Dork, you can shove your ignorant anti-American xenophobia up your ass. Things on my side of the pond look pretty good—I get to vote for federal, state, and local elected officials. The many governments in these United States are far more responsive to American citizens than the EU Uber-state is to voters in European countries. If you would get out of the cyber-cafe and travel around America (and one week split between Disney World and L.A. doesn’t count), you would realize that.

You think liberty is on the wane in America? Journalists face jail time for saying "Islam is stupid" in France, while the police chief in Berlin advises Jews there not to walk around looking, you know, Jewish.

Get in the game, Europe. History isn’t over. You have plenty to contribute to the cause of human liberty, if you would only bother to field a team.

PS—your presence was sorely missed in the immediate aftermath of the recent tsunami.

PPS—you are, however, correct to worry about the way the EU is shaping up. It’s not very democratic. And your nations’ sovereignty is being dismantled in a way that’s never happened before except as the result of a war.
