Huh, same thing my Grandparents said. (Na tuck). Guess I owe it to 'em to try to keep this place from turning into the place they left. I've been to Sweden.......no thanks.

I had a friend who was a VP for an electronics company in Minnesota. While on a business trip to Holland, a commuter bus moved into the opposing lane of traffic to pass a parked car and hit my friend's car head on. He survived, but his neck was broken and he was paralyzed. The last I heard, the Holland courts had offered him $50k US as a settlement. Since their government is highly socialized and they take care of you if you become disabled they don't pay out large settlements like here in the US. * * *
