European Union

Erica did her first talk last night at the Ministry of Culture, was kissed by the minister (although he has, as yet, been unable to sign her off officially), and gave an hours talk on the european union and cuture. Pretty impressive, and i'll stick the vids & pics up tomorrow.

But about the European Union - got me thinking. If South America is planning to make a union, maybe they need a big war like we did to start it. They need economic motivations, and they need to cosy up to people they don't like (so not just Chavez and his mates in an anti imperialist rant - like maybe our future 'league of democracies' would be). How we have dealt with diversity, with borders, with trade and money - could this be the future of South America?
