A German tummy upset creates EU's latest fiasco

Two american astronauts have connected a "European" module to the international space station. This embarassment for the EU occurred after the German trained for the task fell ill after the shuttle launch! Aaaahhhhhrrrr there, there poor thing! This highly amusing incident, however, highlights a more disturbing fact. It is the "International" space station so the desire to have a specifically "european" piece bolted on shows a very wierd mindset indeed. Are not Europeans still part of humanity? NOT the leaders of the EU of course. They consider themselves space miles above we normal mortals. Hence their destruction of representative democracy across the Continent with the Lisbon Treaty and their continued grinding of the poorer countries of the world further into the dirt with their agricultural subsidies and oppressive individual trading agreements.
