Pacifier

very good posting Zeld.

Yes, and we should start asking if it is really necessary that all nations have a goverment style as we know it. Should we start to accept that there are many different ways for a nation to become a "happy" nation. That there are even different kinds of "happieness"

I'm afraid this arrogance, this "we tell you how to live" attitude is a major part in why those people don't like us. Who likes beeing bossed around?
