I'm a USer, so I don't get a vote in the matter, but I hope that the UK hangs onto sterling forever. The Euro is to currency as WalMart is to commerce -- a giant, artificial, soul-less, homogenized, one-size-fits-all engine of commerce that wipes out centuries of local history and identity. I suppose it's inevitable that eventually MicrosoftToyotaBankofamerica Inc. or some variation thereof will rule the world, but as a traditionalist who celebrates regional cultures and hopes that they can endure, I don't have to like it.
