#1 Watching the various parts of Europe trying to devolve into smaller parts makes me wonder how in the world anyone could have been serious about pushing the EU Constitution through.

Actually, the EU sort-of makes the separatist urges worse: since everyone's part of the European Union, why should the Catalans have to continue to put up with the Middlemen in Madrid?

#2 that makes a lot of sense, Phil. I never thought of it that way. Would the Catalans have their own bureaucrats/ministers/et al alongside Zappy's in the EU format?
