    What the heck is the EU?

    Maybe it's cause I'm an American but I can't figure out what the hell is the EU. Is it just one big bureaucracy cause it sure don't seem to be supported by the people of Europe. Didn't the German people not want to replace the Mark yet somehow, Germany's using the Euro? Do the EU leaders even get elected? I thought Europe would turn into some sort of Articles of Confederacy or maybe even the early Constitutional US but it sure seems like the EU is one big bureacracy trying to circumvent democratic principals.


    thanks

        It such a complex union that you need at least a ph.d. in political science to even have a reasonable chance of grasping the concept. Don't ask us peons...

            The European Union is a diabolical, conspiracy-based organization among European nation members who have fantastical dreams of becoming more globally dominant than the good ol' United States.

                  This would've been a much more fun thread if a huge anti-EU article had been posted at the same time.

                          Umm... yeah... so it's some European intellectuals (read leftists) who want to some sort of European Union (of Socialist States)?

                            It's all the fad with the young set in Europe. But it does have some weenie beauracracy aspects...as well as some good aspects (lowered tarrifs, easier movement.)
