Governments have been surrendering their sovereignty to the economy sense the dawn of human civilization. And, btw, don't they teach you people how to spell in Oz? ;P
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Weird, I wasn't sure how to spell it, so I gave it a stab, did a right click and let Safari correct it for me. Real browsers do that, you know.

'sense' the dawn ? Was that a hidden joke ?

The poor bloke's probably in shock. And so is nearly all of Oz. Unceremoniously dumped out of the Twenty20 tournament.
I don't even know what that is.... :P

and the states are discovering they have less and less individual sovereignty
The idea of sovereignty of states, when you're supposed to be a country, seems flat out insane to me. The EU is not a country, the analogy is not perfect.

When, I wonder, does the E.U. get its Abraham Lincoln who discovers that the member states have no right to secede and who will use force to prevent them from doing so?
Political reality means both that the EU will become more tight knit, but that I doubt it will become an effective country in the near future. In any case, the EU model does not scale to the idea of the entire world grouping together in a similar way. The US is the first country that I would think of who would never submit to such a thing.

Closer than you might imagine. Take a look at the history of the United States prior to 1787.

Well, it was spelled correctly.

I am aware that the states initially were autonomous, that's why the idea of states rights still exists in it's various bizarre forms. But, the depth of history is different.

Perhaps, but it's relatively apparent that at least some of the members of the EU are attempting to create a confederacy, seeing themselves as the dominant members.
