tongie in cheek a little bit, but yes I like pontificating and predicting(prophesizing) gloom and doom cynical optimism sort of stuff

Is it fantasy to dream of democracy in Europe instead of unelected Prime Ministers, Commissionairs and 'directives'? I thought it was a right derived from God based on the moral choice... silly me! Euros are WAAAAY more important.
i dont know which would be te first but i guess that will not be as "popular" recently, like Greece or Italy...
Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.

well looking back this Szlachta democracy was all nice till the first crisis, which is now.
oh and isnīt it ironic that current problem is caused by too lax directives and regulations?
all major problems that europe is facing and will face in the future : immigration, aging of population, current financial crisis, etc. are the areas EU has least say and member states are managing on their own

If Ireland defaulted(properly) and told the Eu that it would not bail out their banks (which sold debt to eu banks) so in essence the Irish public bailed out Eu bankers whom invested into Irish Investment banks which were not guaranteed.
It would have been a precedent to have a country default with the EU and Greece would have had an easier time following.
