I was suspecting the criticism of european democracies was coming from americans. Italy and Denmark are far from each other, so is south and north Italy, Germany and England. Comparing it with Mexico and California was necessary, since Canada and U.S. is very similar, compared to how europeans countries compare. I like Italy very much and it's a very nice country. I had no intention of putting Italy in a bad light, it's just that the italians I know, they are often not very fond of the political system. Europe and the U.S. are two places on the earth, where we have real democracies. In different ways, but both are democracies. There's no idea in criticizing each others political systems, although I still haven't understood why I had to read about a girl named Monica L. in my morning newspaper...

Off topic --- Italy ... Thank-you for giving us a balanced view of Italy. I admit, that when travelling, I form opinions of distant lands based on my comfort and enjoyment as a tourist. But to live there is another story. You've made it clear that you love your land, but also are able to see areas which could be improved. It's better to bring problems into discussion and seek solutions than to deny they exist, and thus guarantee they'll continue. Comparing what you observe in other countries saves time and effort: You see what works and what doesn't. Cheers, PW.
