You said, explicitly, *every* older person in euroland.

Wrong - he wrote that he *believes* that every older person, etc. ;-)

Actually I do not think that it is a question of age - somebody who is
60 or 70 may well appreciate the currency union while a person is his
20s or her 30s may be against it. I for one, somewhere in between age
wise, still think that the common currency has, all in all, a positive
effect.

On the other hand, well, I also believed that it would help building a
more closely integrated Europe since a common currency will not work in
the long run without further harmonization. And due to recent
developments in the European Union I do not believe any longer that
EUrope is actually willing to move on in that regard. Will be
interesting to see how long the euro can "survive" under these
conditions ...
