Looks like the European Union is getting a tad antsy over the French. Opinion polls indicate that the French people will reject the EU Constitution in a referendum on May 29. According to AFP news, 56 percent of voters oppose the measure. This constitution has been in the works for quite a few years now. This is the Union's effort to become basically one huge nation that covers the entire continent. I really hope that the French people vote against the measure. If one nation does not accept the Constitution, the entire document is scrapped and leaders can not come up with another one for quite a while. This thing scares me to death. Imagine how powerful the nation of Europe would be. They could boss us around like nobody's business; they already have in a few trade disputes. I like the way Europe is right now; let's just keep it that way. EU = danger.
I agree with you, Shawn. I hope France turns down the referendum. A nation larger than the U.S., but with more problems and social issues will become a powerhouse. That's a really scary thought.
ReplyDeleteYay for the French being difficult? :D
