Re: Early voting brisk in the Irish Referendum on (4.00 / 3)

The EU has the good fortune that the American colonies didn't have when they decided to unite. Since King George is not breathing down Europe's neck, we have the opportunity to get it right the first time, rather than settling for a makeshift Constitution, which, although, serviceable, seems to be deeply flawed.

Actually George is breathing down Europe's neck.

That's a bit too much I think. Even if Lisbon had passed half our governments would still be staffed by loyal poodles. And they would have had to decide to confront the US on Iran.

Wait this is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet.
