The EU and democracy are mutually exclusive.
The only way is OUT!

Of course, Freedom and Government are also
mutually exclusive.  Our own government is
as much in the hands (and pockets) of the big
corporations, and all corporations are by their
very nature anti-democratic (after all, their
internal structure is hierarchical dictatorship).

This is one of the reasons I like the GNU/Linux
movement in the first place, it is a true movement
in the spirit of individualist libertarianism (or
what gets called elsewhere anarchy or free
communism), in that it proves that things can
work without a centralised power structure or
authoritian hierarchy) which is probably why the 
forces of liberal democracy(*) find it so threatening.

really just aspects of)
