Globalization may often be a buzzword, but our economies are &quot;interdependent&quot; to a large extent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting that both Ruben and you paint a picture of the European Union as something &quot;foreign&quot;. So when the German federal government makes a decision that affects politics in my state, is that also &quot;foreign&quot; because it&#039;s the feds and not the state parliament? Is the US government &quot;foreign&quot; for you because you can only vote on your state&#039;s share of the Congress members? I am well aware of the fact that the EU is far from being a perfect construction. And yes, I also know that, in the current situation, nationalism has become more popular again around here. But try and keep in mind that only a few generations ago people from countries that are now in the EU would almost regularly be at war against each other. Compared to that, we have made pretty good progress. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>(Side note: If any of the mods thinks that this topic, which has been a somewhat weird mix from the very beginning, is going astray or getting too political or both, please let us know.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
