It's very interesting that you and Maxprop are lining up in favor of the
paternalist & socialistic European economic structures.

I would like to hear *your* explanation. Sometimmes European
social/economic/gov't models are leftist twaddle beloved
of muddle-headed elitists, other times it is just the way
you want to go.

While I try to avoid a petty preoccupation with consistency
(which Emerson assures us is the hobgoblin of little minds),
it is generally not smart, nor productive, to contradict
oneself every time one speaks (or posts). Of course,
self-contradictory illogic has been the neo-cons stock in
trade... and look where it's gotten us!
