And too bad that after 200 years, they’ve finally found a way to bypass the Constitution and centralize control in the US.

The EU does need to consider federalism rather than Soviet style centralization. It is the one solution that would seem to satisfy all legitimate sides of the argument. But of course, it’s very difficult for critics of the US to consdier the fact that the US Constitutional model is in fact the one they actually need.

Centralized control is a basic tenet of Socialism, just as “control” is the aim of government.

Good thing our Founders were careful to invest most power in the states, and to warn us to avoid entangling foreign alliances. How brilliant is our Constitution, that restricts the power of central government! As long as we in America heed the wisdom of our fathers, our way of life is safe.

And I have used up my quota of sarcasm for this hour.

It’s a truism all over the world: People “over here” do not want to be ruled by people “over there”. Nor should they.
