I just had friends (one a judge and one a lawyer) come back from Denmark and they said it was paradise. Few rich, very few to no poor, and a very large richish healthy middle class, and they were very civilized, educated and the country was clean and happy. Polls show they are the happiest people on earth. They said I should move there as I am so liberal and would fit right in. They said the poor are always taken care of. They said when they came to a small street with a red light, that most Americans would just walk against, about 20 people stood on the curb and waited for the light to change. Cooperation was their point. The Danes have free public education through a PHD and even help with livign expenses. What more could you want?

<<You have never explained why the Danes can have school choice, but Americans can't.>> I don't know how their system works, but in our country the pubs want to replace public education weth private. The Danes don't do that. People can send their kids to private schools in this country. We liberals don't want the public education system weakened by private schools, many which would be religious and then they would be like the Islamic schools teaching more religion at the expense of education. But I wouldn't expect you to understand that in a hundred years.
