[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [qb] In related news: http://www.eubusiness.com/afp/030827194209.5iajvuy2 Okay, the current EU is a bureaucratic nightmare and completely undemocratic (European Parliament? Who the hell are those people?), and now the church is trying to get involved. Apparently, they want christianity to be somehow different from the other religions, by including it in the new EU constitution. I'm sure all those newbie Eastern European states are only too happy about that. Let's just hope the big three can hold it off. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree with you completely. However, as I understand it there is a bit in the new Constitution (which is by no means a just a tidying up exercise) which basically summarises the history of Europe (no, I don't know why it's in there) and which makes no mention of Christianity. Now, whatever your views on the church you have to agree that is just a tiny little ommission :) . Incidentally economic ties are good (although not necessarily a single currency), political ties are unnecessary! The EU is disturbingly undemocratic and it is worrying how much power it (especially the Commission) have and how little people realise it. For example the recent change to directory inquiries numbers in the UK was the result of a directive from Brussels. [/QB][/QUOTE]
