I suppose if you live on a farm in flyover country, you depend upon your
ability to shoot squirrels.

And that I do plenty of. A neighbor loves squirrel. I keep her with plenty of stock.

I don’t consider highways as socialism. But generous Nordic welfare that
you richly admire, I do. “Show up, sign up, feed up, sit down”
I’d course you love it, Harry



Whatever you think of Norway's "system," there aren't many Norwegians
sleeping in the streets because they are homeless, or doing without
medical care because they have no means to get it, or denying
educational opportunities to their kids because they can't afford
college, or leading useless lives because they were injured on the job
and there are no funds available to retrain them for a real job, et cetera.


Most of our educational problems are kids dropping out of school. Not
colleges. You are the group that think everyone should go to college or
they are failures. Big part of the school dropouts problem. 20% should
be in university or college. 40% may qualify, but only half those have
the gumption. We need trade school classes. Auto repair, machine shop,
etc. kids get out of school and have learned little life skills.
