Re: France rejects shit

[Milton MacPhail <macfluff(at)shaw.ca>]

Why would the US be happy? The corporate interests were on the verge of
taking over the EU just like they took over the US and now the whole
scam is back up in the air. Now they have to worry about the Euro
becoming a fiat currency as well as a host of other individual state
reactions which may not favor US corporate interests and which the EU
constitution was expected to control. So I think the US richocrats are
upset by the french revolution. Lets hope other nationalities worldwide
take heart and revolt against the corporat mutants that prey on them and us.
