Hi Elmat, Everybody seems to like to point to Sweden as the epitome of what not to do, how not to run an economy. Well I've been there and the contrast with most other countries is amazing. I dare say they are the most educated people on the planet. The education is free and students are supported by the government as long as they are passing their courses. Nobody talks there about undereducated people not reaching their potential. The gap between rich and poor looks much less than elsewhere. The tall Swedes live in small houses and drive small cars. You don't see too many huge mansions or beggars either. There is a general cleanliness and order there. It is illegal to possess a pistol. They do some things right. Every single comfortably affluent person that I met in Sweden complained about the high taxes, the soak the rich attitude. Tsk, tsk. It looks like a great place to live, if you don't mind the cold. JMMO (Just my mad opinion). Malcolm
