When I was a bit younger I truly regretted that cool things have already been done: all new lands discovered, all mountains hiked, great music created etc. I really wanted to live back “then”. Now I think differently. We are living in very interesting times. Now, we are discovering and exploring things related to the freedom of individuals, defining rules that will shape our lives for the decades to come. It’s like living great adventure movie.
Yesterday a new chapter of the story has been written – Ireland voted no to Lisbon treaty.
I really like this comment about the on CNN “It is an embarrassment too to the other 26 leaders across Europe who, for fear of a similar outcome, have refused to stage popular votes and left the ratification process to more easily managed parliamentarians.”
This is nice too: “Not only is the process of constitution-mongering a fractious, divisive and frankly boring exercise, it is one which alienates European citizens from the EU and all its works. They want their politicians to be tackling problems like immigration, energy security and employment, not tinkering endlessly with their institutions.”
I am also happy to find out that Czech president Vaclav Klaus has named the results as “victory of freedom.” In addition it looks like GB will have to have referendum even though political elites (cowards) oppose such a solution.
Thank you Ireland!
