    Oh, I can believe that we can learn, just don't agree that what is working at the moment for a nation of 5 million people that share mostly the same values, would begin to work here. I admire people the world over. Have had the pleasure to meet and work with a variety of people. I disagree with most people. People get the governments they deserve. According to the article, most Norwegians (at least the ones he interviewed) were willing to make substantial personal sacrifices to live in Norway. A small country like that has a lot of solidarity. It's a little more complex here. The people I work with (conservative blue collar) are people I respect who live good lives. If the country was made up of people mostly like them then I don't believe we would have a problem. And precisely the fact we don't is the reason why socialism won't work for us.

    Good people make a good government. Not the other way around. IMO

    agree about good people part...and those who knee jerk hate gov running gov are going be a self fulfilling prophesy.

    Also another fact Norway is polled as one of the if not the happiest nation in the world. The US does not crack anywhere near the top 10.

    I am not surprised that voter fraud was taking place and if you want to know who did it. Its not any harder that looking at who won. That being said I'm sure nothing will be done about it even though this is the worst thing that can happen to a democracy. It amounts spying and treason and should be dealt with in the same manner once found guilty.

    So Doc, does that mean you are in favor of scrapping all the hackable computer voting machines and going back to a paper ballot.

    Voter fraud today is mostly accomplished the old fashioned way. Multiple voting using the Democrats' opposition to voter ID laws.
