Page one of the leftist British paper The Independent asks "What now for Europe?" in 20 different languages. Hellooooo! Doesn't the mere fact that they have to ask the question in 20 disparate tongues register as one of the main obstacles to a unified Europe? 

Have any of the geniuses at TI actually plowed through all 400 pages of the EU—Con? If the answer is yes, what are the odds that large quantities of aspirin and or alcohol weren't involved. I wonder what the reactions would be if they so boldly emblazoned half of page one with the "KISS" principle in say...just French, German or God forbid...English!?
