my parents are both european and my grandmother is still in germany. i studied in germany as well for about a year.
i grew up in nyc for 17 years.
this makes me heavily pro world anything and i am for world government and see the rise of supranational states as a logical step in that effort.
the current form of the EU is unwieldy and the constitution needs to be slimmed down.
it is still a step in the right direction
being as pro german as i am, you can see why i see things my way.
ps. the only thing australian about me is birth, in terms of my attitudes on the world they are highly european. i suppose parents play a great influence.
