Unfortunaqtely it is entirely true. It looks like, of the 4 professions only CEOs won't be directly government paid. If they are CEOs of big companies much of their job will be schmoozing with the politicos.<br /><br /> Such centralisation is only possible in a Europe entirely antithical to all od Europe's fistory. The reason why European culture conquered the world is that the state were smaller than the culture. When Columbus didn't get the support of the king of France he could try England, Portugal and Spain. When Gilieo was condemned by the Inquisition, Fescartes could move to Sweden. Whereas when Cheng Ho came back to China in 1431, after exploring the Indian Ocwena and reaching the south Atlantic, and the party line had turned against exploration, he could do noting. <br /><br />The EU stultifies competition between European countries, which is the path to progress.neil craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157898238945726349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-67714671399017132892012-04-12T01:55:59.442+01:002012-04-12T01:55:59.442+01:00Ralph,
