Ok, it's a holiday here, Memorial Day, a day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation as well as the unofficial kick-off for summer.
Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, it's raining, drab, and generally not nice outside so here I am reading pprune.
Because I had the time and against my better judgement, I read this thread from the beginning.
And I'm confused.
I can understand why some would want independence - historical enmity and the rest. Others think they are getting a raw deal regarding political representation. Others seem merely want to stick it to 'the man.'
Others think the idea isn't all that sound - fracturing a shared economy while assuming the full price of independent national infrastructure, etc.
But I do not understand this desire for devolution on one hand and the hell for leather surrendering of sovereignty, in my mind anyway, to an even bigger and far more instrusive/unfair artificial political construct of the EU.
Not my place to tell others what they should or should not do/believe, but I don't understand the desire to take independence in the 'micro,' while surrendering it in the 'macro.'
?Que?
