US = not eligible for the EU.

This might seem obvious. But the reason I am pointing out that the US couldn't join the European Union isn't a geographical one. The EU doesn't let any nation join that has the death penalty on the books. I'm listening to a story about Turkey's efforts to join the EU on NPR and they had to abolish the death penalty before they would be seriously considered.

Way to go, USA.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
