Here's a good piece by Pete DuPont over @ Opinion Journal on the impending unification of the EU 25 member states into a United States of Europe. The impending EU Super-State has garnered a considerable bit of detractors who are devotees to classical liberalism, namely Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic, who feels the EU is becoming yet another over-regulated behemoth that dampens individual freedom. Take a look at what President Klaus has to say about the EU:
"The current European unification process is not predominantly about opening up," he continues, "It is about introducing massive regulation and protection, about imposing uniform rules, laws, and policies." It is about a "rush into the European Union which is currently the most visible and the most powerful embodiment of ambition to create something else--supposedly better--than a free society."As the late Johnny Carson used to say, "This is very interesting stuff." Indeed, it is. I wished there were more people like Klaus in the other EU member states or maybe there's just a silent majority voting in the referendums in their respected nations. We'll see. Please vote no.
