I've been to Europe

[MrScorpio]

I know for a fact that we would all be better off if this country were just a little bit more like the French, the Germans, the Dutch and the Scandinavians.

Less prone to violence, better educated, healthier, happier and more secure.

And guess what, we Americans live in a pervasive police state in comparison to the folks in those countries... That's right, we'd be a little FREER too!

Oh by the way, modern Europeans aren't addicted to a military industrial complex, imperial exceptionalism and HFCS.

Just taking those things out of the American equation would take us a very, very long way.
