One more reason to vote against the EU Constitution

Like I needed anymore. Apart from the text consisting chiefly of bureaucratic drivel, now there's the issue of Greece having bamboozled itself into the Economic and Monetary Union, the EU club for countries allowed to use the euro. Never mind that France and Germany are also flouting EMU rules all the time, albeit after joining, rather than before.

If one country votes against the EU Constitution, it's legally dead. I can't think of another way to protest against this highly undemocratic institution.

"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
