"The EU: Steady on Its Course from Tragedy to Farce"
I actually had a post ready about the chocolate bunny issue.
It wouldn't be true to say that everything there is bad; BUT, why in the world would America want to adopt what has been proven to fail?
The answer is likely ominously scary...
Roger Kimball writes at PJmedia.com and has very similar thoughts:
"It was several years ago now that my friend David Pryce-Jones told me about the European Union’s fruit police. Fruit was just the tip of the orchard, so to speak, but the fact that those preposterous bureaucrats in Europe had outlawed curvy bananas made a deep impression on me. It was V. Lenin who said that 'Communism means keeping track of everything,' and here were the non-elected busybodies of the EU deciding what sorts of bananas were legal — legal. And not just bananas, of course. They were also deciding what you could and could not say, whom you could criticize, what sort of potatoes you could grow and . . . it took them nearly 100,000 pages to spell out all the things their wards (i.e., the persons formerly know as citizens) could and couldn’t do, say, buy, accumulate, spend, hire, fire, worship, play, read, draw, look at, and commune with. It was all part of what I have called elsewhere “The New Gleichschaltung.”"
