You'll be sorry.
no, it's a stunt to get themselves reelected. The only question is if they did it to make you feel good or to increase their corporate funding.
Shame that the military power of the EU is non-existant, so unless they ally themselves with Russia or China, the US can dictate its whims to them with a rather large stick. It takes only some Tomahawk missiles to turn the EU into pauperland.
Of course, I believe that ACTA must die, along with all of its supporters, but don't think for a moment the EU can stand up to the US on its own strength and survive the encounter.
Geeks are so full of shit that "beating the crap out of them" takes a whole new meaning.
You know that rule that "affect" is a verb and "effect" is a noun?
Well when you go to the big school you'll find that "effect" can also be a verb. It means to cause to happen, to implement, or to put into action.
