LindyBill; I agree with the three reasons you give for the success of the Scandinavian society, but disagree with some of specifics. A lot of their housing is sub-standard by our standards. What do you base that comment on? From what I have seen their housing is every bit as good as ours. While they don't have the trophy homes found in America, they also don't have the slums. The Muslim problem in Sweden is horrific Agree, but that isn't a problem from socialism. But times have changed, and they are in for a lot of trouble now. How so? The Norwegian government for instance has set up a fund for the future of their people. By the end of the decade that fund is expected to be about 180,000 dollars for every man, woman and child in Norway. Compare that to the obligation being placed on our children in America to pay for our life style of today. Deficit spending. steve
