I am sly as a fox (which isn't that sly to be honest, but still), I see what you're doing...


...why not slice it in about twenty and make everyone there a senator. 

- Oh, but the stars in the flag. That would be an unpleasant starflation.

I get the impetus behind it, especially given your correct assessment of the impact of the two World Wars, but the current execution of the idea is flawed and, IMO, doomed to eventual failure. 

Don't say that... that was is as unpleasant as it is justified.

I mean, I for one am all for giving up our souvereignty for an United States of Europe project. Because I feel that's the only way to hold our own and be a global player independent from an increasingly moody US, also it's the only way to effectively fight global threats like climate change that know no borders, or also tax havens and whatnot.

But I know that's a complete illusion.
