Oh my. Brexit. What does it mean?

The core issue is the rejection of too much political power being concentrated into too few hands. Sadly, getting support for that political position seems to have attracted, or awakened, some baser instinct sentiments. Politics, which in a meta sense is the art of doing things in large groups, often brings out the worst in people.

Well, I wonder too to the limits of human tolerance for vague notions of "change", in this case a greater Europa. It is very theoretical, and ideological until you also suffer the unsold negative consequences of this "change". Here, in fly over frozen Minnesota, we have struggles in certain urban/suburban schools with 1st generation children/families speaking more than 50-60 different languages at home. I can only imagine that it would be more problematic in greater Europe without borders. And, while we are "United States", we chafe strongly against the federal machine that attempts to usurp State, and local autonomy.
