HBO's "THE SOPRANO's" ratings have topped! That's clearly obvious since they just made Time magazine's cover this week titled: "Is the rest of TV running for cover." Got puts? <ggg>

hb - Message 15563913 "...The third pillar: The justification for all these measures can be found in the new "European Constitution", despite it being called at the moment merely a "Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms". It is not a Bill of Rights: as the American people (libertarians, first of all) know well; to have a Bill of Rights as well as a constitution, there must be a kind of struggle before. In US there were federalists and anti-federalists, and the fight between these two groups led to the establishment of a balanced constitution. Instead, this phenomena has not happened in the unified Europe, where the State has decided by itself what a right is, and what it is not, and has put this into a constitution. No fight. No struggle. Just the power "limiting" itself. ..." "...Avoiding tax competition, Brussels is going to stop any residual chance for its citizen to "vote with their feet", moving capital from more socialist countries to low-tax ones. The triumph of Colbert's Europe is exactly the death of the dream of a free-market Europe: since, as anyone can see, advancing "harmonization" means exactly to destroy the benefits you can obtain from the free movement of capital and labor. If you can move your capital, but only in a totally politically integrated system where every country, province, and city has the same regulations and the same taxation level, it's like you are not moving at all. ..." "...Making this point, Roepke correctly stated that "decentrism is of the essence of the spirit of Europe: to try to organise Europe centrally, to submit the Continent to a bureaucracy of economic planning, and to weld it into a block would be nothing less than a betrayal of Europe and the European patrimony. The betrayal would be the more perfidious for being perpetrated in the name of Europe and by an outrageous misuse of that name. We would be destroying what we ought to defend, what endears Europe to us and makes her indispensable to the whole free world. ..." Regards, Don
