Title: Italian prime minister proposes standardized press releases for EU politicians??

Yeah, I know politics is not a welcome topic here, but still:

According to Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-09-06/monti-says-eu-may-need-conduct-code-to-muzzle-anti-euro-talk.html), Italian prime minister has proposed standardization that would control the politicians speeches for the press. This basically isn't anything but quenching free speech! So you who were so abhorred by censorship several months ago, where you at now?

What the hell are we heading at? I sure do hope Monti realizes this sort of speech will not be taken kindly here due to historical proximity with Soviet Union. Besides, when did European Union became Euroet Union? Or perhaps he just wants us to depart from euro?

Are you kidding me? Any topic that isn't a political flamefest is only grudgingly tolerated in Gen Disc.

At least in my experience...
