This is one of the most important things. Right now people don't have a say. We just watch.. watch everything falling apart. There is no democracy or any kind of unity that the EU is supposed to represent. Germany and France want to promote the image of them helping countries like Greece or Portugal, but the truth is that they take advantage of them to ensure their economies. Thus, how is the EU democratic? How does it help? What Worldbytes does is one step to hear what people think. Keep going... People’s voices should be heard. This is one of the most important things.

The idea that the EU is an anti-democratic and beurocratic institution seems thankfully, to be quite common. Curiously there are not any expressions of nationalism or xenophobia amongst the critics of the EU.

Nor iron bars a cage;

Angels alone that soar above

This video is great as it draws out the key issues which are not looking for the state for protection as vulnerable victims, not seeing the world as awash with bigots, not seeing gays in Africa as incapable, the need to be judgemental and therefore supporting complete free speech and the resurrection of the true meaning of tolerance-phew its all in there. REALLY Good stuff.

The questioning of the imperialist angle of those wanting to deny third world aid unless anti-gay laws are revoked is the most interesting. Personally I found the religious question a bit of a red herring by comparison. Thoughtful - well done!
