LG The observations you quote are correct. Despite being located in an absolutely stunning natural backdrop Vancouver suffers all the ills of any large city. Richmond is its adjoining neighbor. The downtown eastside is a disgusting stretch of dereliction owing its existence to lax courts and unenforced drug laws. The overly smug residents of Vancouver are welcome to it.

Norway is the greatest country in the world.

1. No taxes.
2. Sex is compulsory.
3. No police.
4. Crime rate is negative.
5. Money is free.
6. Unemployment rate is negative.
7. Drugs are non-addictive and free, but optional.
8. People stay young forever.
9. Nothing is forbidden, but anyway it is unecessary as you could not get any happier if you tried.
10. Anxiety and disease are not dictionary words.
11. The only people who live in Norway are Norwegians by law.
12. All the girls are good looking and unmarried.
13. There are 137 synonyms for the words "great", "satisfying" and "terrific".
14. Beer is free. (It is also compulsory.)

The only drawback is that there is very little sunlight. On the other hand cabbages grow to enormous sizes in these conditions.

They are working on artificial, state-sponsored sunshine. It should be out in 6 months.
