Dr. Emmett Brown: Well, they're your parents you must know them. What are their common interests? What do they like to do together? 
Marty McFly: Nothing.

Those of you who enjoyed watching back to the future will remember and love Dr. Emmett Brown: and Marty McFly. This particular quote refers to the odd and amusing situation of Martin going back in the past and meeting his parents before they even got together.

If we could convince Dr. Brown to borrow his DeLorean to the heads of government of the 28 European countries I would ask them to travel back in time in any given period. They would find out (even by themselves) that a world at peace is the best possible world.

If they also would travel in the future they would find out that the limited resources, the global warming, the overcrowding, are issues we can master only by sticking together. Helping each other (the principle of solidarity) is the basis of any relationship (friendship, family) one of the pillars of mankind’s civilization.

I do not think that it is necessary to ask Dr Brown. It is sufficient to spend public money and give our heads of government 1000 Euro and ask them to travel and survive 3 months in Latin America, Africa, Asia and north America and then Naples, Helsinki, Vienna, Seville and any city or village you name in Europe.

They will notice (even by themselves) that European citizens are way closer to each other than they think. After spending few weeks in Rossina, (Brazil largest favela) or Bombay or Shangai, they will call any place in Europe home, perhaps paradise.

They would understand that the moral and financial lessons given to the countries in difficulty (the PIGS- stands for Portugal Italy Greece and Spain) by the more solid countries (the FUKD- stands for France, UK and Germany) is pathetic, ridiculous and egoistic in the big picture of the history of mankind…..

Because we share the same values.

Because we are a nation.

And because we shall become a single federal State.

The 1.000 Euros for our politicians would be the best spent public money ever.

My dream is that these 28 head of government one day will show up in any European city (why not in Greece?) and announce the creation of a single European federal state, the first born by the will of people without the use of money or violence.
