EU investigates Oracle's planned acquisition of SunEU investigates Oracle's planned acquisition of SunPosted Sep 4, 2009 11:48 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304)In reply to: EU investigates Oracle's planned acquisition of Sun by sbergman27 Parent article: EU investigates Oracle's planned acquisition of Sun
Well, that's a pretty good description of the EU (except that it doesn't cover the whole world).
Brussels is hardly a paragon of efficiency though (just look at the perennial fraud at very high levels and the ridiculous jaunts to and from Strasbourg all the time). Efficiency was never really its goal. Binding the EU members together so tightly that they'd never dare war on each other, but rather bicker in fancy conference rooms, was the goal. It seems to work pretty well.

It's also a pretty good way for a relative small group of people to gain control over a entire continent. Some people are now able to do pretty much whatever they want while those governmental officials are bickering with each other and people's attention are tied up in petty things and how stupid USA is, and how it's American's fault. Yay government run media!

They don't even make us mad except at select occasions! (Not like country and local governments where we get to complain a lot, all the time, and watch them like hawks.) That is pure evil genius.

Yes. That's because while the EU is the source of a lot of local laws,
most of what it does is *dead boring*. So obviously most people don't care about it, or at least aren't unhappy.
