They will not go away tomorrow. The world economy is much less fragile than the fragmented ones of old. Dan D

Not trying to put down these excellent achievements, as the natural dissident In European Union, run by the goddam socialists: Number of people w/o health cover: 0 (in the States 45 million) Average annual vacation: 5 weeks Necessity to collect college fund: not necessary Necessity to collect pension fund: not necessary Crime: low Cost of medical care: low Cost of dental care: low Litigation: low Necessity to teach kids not to talk to strangers: low Peace of mind: high OK so we pay over 4 USD/gal for gas and drive around in cars that fit into the back of the std american SUV. But then, our women are more generous if you know what I mean. - rajala
