Actually, much stronger states rights than in the EU.

You really don't have a clue, do you? Individual states
in the US have virtually _no_ power compared to the EU
countries. They have less power than Canadian provinces.

The US is a union of weak states. Canada is a confederation
of relatively strong provinces. Europe is a loose union
of independent countries. Completely opposite to what you
claim. The advocates of strong state rights in the US _lost_
the civil war. Just check your history books. It would
also do you some good to learn about political systems in
the world, since you don't have any idea what you're talking
about.

It's no
different than the EU. The EU got the idea from us, in fact.

Jingoistic day-dreaming. Try some reality someday.

Well, are you claiming bad press then? Whenever someone here talks about
socialized medicine, the examples of people waitlisted to death in Canada
and Britain are commonplace. Maybe you're just lucky.

I don't know where you get what you think are facts, but they don't jive
with reality. Luck is not involved.
