Seriously, DF? Consider the disparity between Chicago (or Madison) and Birmingham or Atlanta - our nation encapsulates far greater discrepancies than Berlin vs. Paris. Tossing Athens into the mix is no different, really, than tossing in Athens, GA for us. ;)
I don’t agree. Different languages (which we don’t have), different histories (often of the nations in question at each other’s throats), and different approaches to government. I regard the EU as a misbegotten sham and I want it gone.
