Great animation. The mind boogles at all the wars that must have been waged to cause all

of those border changes over 1,000 years.

Glad that Europe has shifted away from hyper-nationalism over the past 65 years and largely enjoyed a measure of peace and prosperity compared to the thousand years before that - particularly the first half of the 20th century.

The gap between Democrats and repubs/teabaggers on globalism was indeed shrinking in the 2010 poll.

"My polls" are Pew polls. They could be wrong but I notice you post no links to polls showing that more Democrats than republicans or teabaggers oppose globalism.

If you believe that the number of DU posts in support of your position is more valid an indication of what Democrats, republicans and teabaggers think than polls done by Pew then you are welcome to your opinion.

The good news for you is that your frequent challenge to those who disagree with you to respond to each of your "Do you know how many people here disagree with you?" posts will leave you feeling victorious, if somewhat frustrated, when I and others do not take the bait. Many who disagree with me make informed posts that make good points which I concede at times and counter at other times. I enjoy responding to those posts but not to the dare and double-dare posts.

Most DU'ers, including you I suspect, post their opinions here not to generate positive responses but because they believe in them and like to see them discussed. At times you seem to prefer to "keep score" (more people support me than support you) rather than discuss whatever the issue is. If that makes you happy, keep doing it.
