RE: RE: DBA position for Amazon in the UK open : Please stick to Oracle related posting.

Hi,

Europe and the states are completely different world, you can't compare them.
Also, it may rapidly become a hot topic. Please stick to Oracle related posting.

with EU membership comes regulation and an international body that can tell countries how to manage their economies. The dollar would go away and we would get the 'euro', economise in europe are much weaker than here so that is not a good idea.

Plus you run into synchronization problems. For example when the economy is slow you want low interest rates, but when it gest hot you want them higher so you dont have inflation. We would have times where economy is slow and we are hot, but with the same currency, what do you do then?

Plus all the regulation from EU. They have ALOT more environmental taxes and regulation than here. I believe gas is aroudn $4/gallon or higher. We cant handle that. Europeans cant cheaply stick cargo on a boat and sale it around Europe, we cant stick cargo on a boat and send it from New York to St.Louis.

Besides, they dont want us. France and Germany see the EU as their stomping ground... we would be too powerful in it.

We are better off by ourselves.

Damn... Im posting too much lately.
