### Perhaps joining an entity where you are going to be treated like an
unruly child for speaking your mind is not such a smart idea after all.
As you said, the voices from Poland and other lesser countries are
irrelevant anyway (but if they are irrelevant, why bother chastising
them at all?), and if the rulers of EU share your sentiment, this
second-class citizenship of Europe is not likely to be a pleasant
experience.
