Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

My opinion is the way the Commission deals with the public is enough to turn a Europtimist into a Eurosceptic.

The Commission might be like Palpatine, playing both sides.

Ask the free software community people the first time they have to deal with the european "legislative" process. And when they've seen the "constitution" was just making things worse... Bunch of europtimist leftists turned to nonist.

You just have to look at our own debates around the EU. This is clearly a pro-EU community, but hardly optimistic.

It is? It's favorable to the ideals of Europe as a supra-national community, but it's hardly pro-EU. I feel a bit lonely at times.

Sure, but the goal here is to get some hearing without being put into the wrong box by the readers of our letter, not to snark openly among ourselves.
