Alors tiens!

I like having a common currency with my neighbours. If they try to get me into their army I'll shoot them. My own government is much fonder of snatching away rights than Europe is - and my British neighbours' government is fonder still of depriving its citizens of rights.

By the way, did anyone notice that the Americans are proposing to demand biometric passports - with fingerprints or other genetic ID - of all incomers? If they do that I won't be visiting America, or knowingly buying any goods from American companies again.

Now, we were talking about freedom, or was that money?
