Robinson failed to mention that the E.U. is a completely new idea: something never seen before. So Europe isn't "self-doubting," Europe is improving itself. For instance the bailout of Greece shows Europe's ability to react to a never seen situation: there are now discussions over a European monetary fund. Etienne Delaunay, REUTLINGEN, GERMANY...
...very important transition. I would say it's from being a peace project - which it still is - to being a model for a globalized society, a prototype for a globalized society.

...turning my computer back on. I knew it meant I'd have to do work or respond to e-mails from friends and family, i.e., more work. And while the main lesson I took away from my two days is that technology is a gift from God and should never be turned off - one simple text would have kept Cassandra's friends at the party, which would have led to more drinking and Liberace-level candle lighting - I did learn that I'd rather hang out with my wife and son than find out every time someone retweets...
