Dharma Bum, perhaps you could clarify what you meant. As written your post is not specifically in violation of forum guidelines, but I can see how it could ruffle the feathers of our European members. There are many examples of European peoples enduring great hardship while fighting oppression and a fair number of folks here that think many European countries do a better job of managing their affairs than the US does so I am also not quite sure what you meant by your comment.
