      Beware of preconceptions about Europe diversity and nationalism!

      Floyd Norris missed the point in caracterizing a Bask from (what is now) Spain as someone that would be kind of "lost" and unable to comunicate in Germany. That would not be the case, because:

      -The Bask Country (10% unemployment, highly industrialized) is closer to Germany as a country than the “rest” of Spain (with more than 20% unemployment)

      -Us citizens from "non-state nations" from Europe, as the Bask Country or Catalonia, where I am from, speak not only our nation's language (in my case, Catalan), but also a second (Spanish) and very often a third if not a fourth language, so we are absolutely able to comunicate with the rest of the World.

      I am not sure you could say the same about the average citizen of a "Big State Nation" (name it France or the USA), which in general speak only their "mother nation language", and seldom any other...

      Things are more complicated, diverse and often positive down here in the small nations of Europe... if only we were given the freedom to be ourselves (in a fully integrated federal Europe)!
