"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
My dream would be if EU dissolved long before then. It's a plan that was laid down 60 years ago and rushed so fast that it's as stable as a house of cards.
the shame of it is, if we kept out the eastern block countries, and non western europeans, then the EU MIGHT have had a chance to work.
As an eastern block citizen, i can assure you we didn't willingly join EU - at least my country. Many years ago we had a referendum in order to validate a new constitution, which was one of the first steps towards being "accepted" into EU. Until 1 hour before closing, the new constitution didn't pass. Then, miraculously, in the final hour the EU-compatible constitution passed (meaning a few millions went to vote and said "yes"). So yeah, the government actually had to fraud the referendum in order to get us into EU.

Most citizens were tricked into joining, the bullshiting started in the mid 70's for the Brits.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't having a pop at eastern European countries, but rather the idiots running the E.U for letting in countries we would have to offer finniancial assistance, knowing damn well it would pull us down too.
