*LOL* but believe me,...I have my rabid moments,...as a passionate, self-confessed 100% human being. x(

Anyway, I could be wrong in my perception that "the people" in the nations forming EU still enjoy greater priority than the corporate interests,...due to painful lessons learned via the last world war (which were suffered as a result of corporate, war-profiteers). There is plenty of evidence that "the people" feel more free (MORE FREE) to show their muscle and that they have not yet been imprisoned in the same "concentration camp of the mind" that the citizens of the US have been trapped.

Moreover, "the people" of the nations joining EU are being respected within the parameters of principles which embrace democracy: freedom of expression, separation of religion and governance, advancing a level/fair playing field, strong labor representation, human rights advocates, and just plain human decency and dignity rather than some "law of the jungle" barbaric attitude. In a way, the EU is a body which challenges fundamental principles concerning whether totalitarian-type governments (like the evolving one in the USA) can succeed in the face of a governance which strengthens its people (like that evolving via the EU).

Being a person who does want "the people" to succeed, you can imagine where my principles and my hopes are positioned.
