Hi dan6, A civil start to a conversation where we all need to get. You are cool head - lets continue this talk and see if there is middle ground where a solution lies. It may be a start where others see a common ground. We may just reverse the polarity. THANKS !!Bob

>>>I don't think the Swiss, Swedes, Danes, or Norwegians have any (big) problem with government. <<< While I applaud your overall attitude and approach to an often controversial and passionate subject, your observation above is interesting but also confusing when considered in the context of your other comments. I am not saying you intended to compare those Scandinavian countries to the political climate or even day to day living in the USA. However, I have spent time in all of them on more than one occasion and, if that was the intent it sounds akin to a comparison of apples and oranges to me. One of our biggest problems in the USA is our so called diversity. Unfortunately I have heard more than one POTUS I voted for stand up and say with a straight face that "diversity is our strength". IMHO nothing could be further from the truth. Extreme diversity and our obsession with so called political correctness has gone a long way toward our being so far "up the gum stump" to start with. But I digress!
