After living in an EU country for five years now, I am beginning to wish Americans would not always look down on Europe and Europeans. The sheer number of member states, 27, with 500 million citizens, trying to build a single market, developing common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, among others, should make one pause and try to understand that this cannot always be easy, with the one or other glitch or not so straight cucumber lurking in the many laws that need to be passed.<br /><br />Peace,<br />MerisiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603897690317712031.post-51088015767609741632010-09-10T02:11:49.828+01:002010-09-10T02:11:49.828+01:00Oh Eddie, You are very cleaver.

In fact after I read it out loud to him, he began speaking in a British accent. (We live in Utah LOL).We too had a son late in life, so our youngest is 18. We are just a couple years older than you. I know I am going to thoroughly enjoy your blog.
