I don't advocate closed-door government. Its track record is poor. But we need to be fair, the method of deliberation that is going on in the EU formation is the very same that spawned out Constitution. What is relevant is that the Constitution was constructed during the period of the Enlightenment while the EU is being formulated during a period of Devolution. Reading drafts of present EU documents is like reading a legal brief for a USC Title IX challenge. It's long on facts but short on the Rights of Man that Locke and Rousseau espoused some three centuries ago.

"Hypocrisy is wrong, but a society which decides to live up to its standards by not having any is worse."

Man, that is so spot on! Thanks -- I needed that! I've almost become "proud" to be a hypocrite these days, because being one means you at least have a moral standard!
