Identity Crisis?

More and more pressure is being heaved onto countries to comply with the rules and regulations of the units/ organisations (the EU or such a thing) they have joined. I agree that it is good to have high standards of living and trade, but when we are faced with changed how we think because the organisation wants us to stay in line is unacceptable. We are individual nations! We are not one mass of units functioning as one body. We are different cultures, different people and have different views on things. Individual identity as a nation is becoming less and less important. Now its more important to stick together and play a fantastically messed up game of leap-frog! Why can we not be more individualist as nations. The problem is that if we pull out of these organisations we are faced with, less support and less trade, this bring the economy shooting down and disaster soon follows. It would be helpful if a lot of nations pulled out at the same time. Is this the solution though?- A triumphant act of rebellion? I don't think so, these organisations are good, but they want to have more and more power over how we act and what we do. I think we need to be able to draw the line concerning how we function. Granted there are times when we need to pull together as a world, but we need to remember that we also need to work alone.
I believe there is an identity crisis.
One that has to be sorted.
