Jacob, I do not understand your reference to being a soldier "to the cause of reduced options".  It seems to me that surrendering one's national sovereignty to a supra-national body is what would result in reducing options, not retaining or regaining that sovereignty.

Again, I must point out, and history bears this out, that it is usually the decentralization of power, NOT its centralization, which leads to the greatest level of freedom and prosperity for the average person.  But I bear you no ill will whatsoever!  I simply believe that those who still support the EU do so in good faith but have been misinformed and mislead by the power-seekers at the top of the EU structure.
