They wanted the money of the Hapsburg, here they seem to be aiming for my life and that of my family's. But one can understand the particular obligations particular states make when they join the EU. Since the logic of proportionality exists and the idea of the expansion of the EU (that usually translates into paying for an Italian's social welfare with your tax-money, for example) also includes the logic of consensus - and yet the benefits of staying within the EU and the benefits of exiting the EU usually decides the cases. But then, somehow the observations about Austria reminds one once again about re-thinking values and re-thinking democracy as a larger debate. Thankfully, the EU should be able to provide that - without attempting to control the directions of the discussion and/or its outcomes. If not the EU, the networks of societies can enable that (if they think that they are not going to become another corpus that comes alive and creates more similar observations). I do have an idea here: how about educating children about Human Rights and about the ideas of negative freedom and positive peace? Can you imagine trying that experiment? Human Rights as interpreted from the filter of negative freedom and positive peace?!! To ensure that future generations generate more humanised people as administrators or bureaucrats?

There exists a letter of the frustrated man asking them wether they want his underpants as well!? Of this I am reminded when we Austrians pay so much money to Bruxelles and have nought to say. We are never asked about anything. But our politicians lead an extremely merry life in Bruxelles with our taxmoney. Of course they want to push this Lisbontreaty through, although they have never read the 478 pages, let alone understood them.(The US constitution has 15 pages.The one of France 2o. Germany 7o. Only the constitution of the Sowjetunion of 1936 is similar). Well, we keep on sending our money to the EU.I doubt it that they would be content with our underpants!Greetings from my lovely though devided(!) homecountry the TYROL in the Austrian Alps It just came to my mind,that when the now-a-days Belgium belonged to Austria (Austrian Netherlands)in the 16th century, they troubled our emperor Joseph II with their impudent demands for money (which the Hapsburg did not have.)

South European states like Italy make news in far-off India as briefcase-carriers for bribing STATES and whore-mongers. So, one does get very interesting views about European sense of democracy. Then we also have people travelling from France to India to encourage the crime-prostitution-terror networks that somehow falls under some Judeo-Christian agenda (given the activities of most Indian Christians). But then India as a banana republic is understandable. Europe turning into a dictatorship? Well, the same story goes for the US, as one is given to understand, though then its academia and its entertainment industries seem to be seeking the same agenda like the French in India. Why does that happen? Perhaps to help Indian low-caste (chamaars or the cobbler-class in particular as a French fixation as one is given to understand) migrate to France. Very good except that they are still visible. Please can France take its populace back to its soil? The US has that idea about christians (will it please take its populace back to its soil?). Amidst such scenarios - the idea of a free Europe is understandable, given the range of "European" activities upon Indian soil! Very strange culture indeed! But perhaps amidst such an overseas view of Europe - it makes sense to have a debate within Europe over what it means and understands by democracy, when not murdering and help the US murder people and families of scholars that work upon International Terrorism in such far-flung shores! The question then becomes: Is the European Union a democracy? Perhaps Europe should debate about its "culture" just like the US should - before exporting such activities in third world states. Especially the crime-prostitution-terror network ones! The big question is: do you have democracy or the ‘commerce of government’, just like cartels exist elsewhere.

That is just, because we were not asked.(Politicians know why!) Here in Austria our President signed the treaty April 9th o8,because he is a slave of Bruxelles. I guess he will not be elected again next year. (Only most Austrians are forgetful). I hope the Irish help us all against this Lisbon treaty.It stinks.Poland wants to sign, when the Irish say YES, but Vaclav Klaus of Czech Republic will not sign (yet???) Germans president could not sign yet because politicians went to court against this machinations of the EU.Well, all in all it is a sign of dictatorship to ask people as often as the government wants to. (In Switzerland it is unlawful to ask the same question before 1o years have gone by.)I hope and pray that the Irish put there feet down and say NO again. God help us all and bless the Irish, if they say NO.

Was it intentional? There have been three European women whom I have known in life. The Ukrainian was a prostitute. The French is a criminal. The Dutch was a more normal woman - but that was many years ago. The Indian woman who followed me is again a criminal. Now, the blog above is interesting. The French woman who visited me at my home was upset that I did not and I do not even like her - leave alone desire her. I have asked the French government many questions. But then they are French. Amazing filth and ugliness. If I am supposed to be working for France or be a French citizen, one wonders about the number of petty criminals that are now French citizens (I did not sleep with that vermin - saving grace). Obviously I can not be a French citizen. Thankfully. But such a write-up above and such a comment from India. Was that intentional - the stars turning into a barbed wire circle? Roger Jesus, Man! But my specialization was In European Studies and yes - Combating International Terrorism. Was that why a prostitute traveled all the way from France to my home town? Very strange ideas of civility and civilization! European..... did you say? I like the way the stars turn into a barbed wire. Was it intentional?
