[atlarge-discuss] Re: 3:127 EU
Looks like another lonely night in the Jeff Williams basement apartment. See header below:
4:55 am on a Saturday, nothing better to do than send an email insulting Judith and then back to playing video games and surfing the net for porn. Don't worry Jeff, I'm sure you'll meet a girl one day.

No, the present EU is not quite that ambitious: all it seeks to do is level the economic playing-field and enhance co-operation amongst as many European countries as demonstrate a willingness to participate. Ideally, though it won't prevent disputes between countries, it will provide some better means for settling them.
