Light years ahead of the rest of us.

"Is it hot on this planet, or is it just me?"

"The name is Sven... Sven Gore."

Der Spiegel reports that Copenhagen's mayor has sent postcards to local hotels asking delegates to the upcoming climate conference not to patronize prostitues during their stay in the city.

Like that will happen. What's the point of going to a mega-super-important conference if you can't blow off steam later with hookers and booze?

I'm joking - or am I?

This is what liberalism leads to.

Prostitution is fully legal in Denmark. Sex workers pay taxes and collect social welfare benefits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Europe

That is quick thinking on their part and definitely in the interests of international cooperation for which we could use much more sex and lots less war! They are to be commended for not be intimidated by the sexual mores of our sex starved and religious overridden societies around the world.

I was in Paris for the first time a few weeks ago, and traveled a little in the North of France. I returned to the US feeling that I had experienced a civilized country for the first time. Just one small example: the drivers were skillful and polite, fast when appropriate, but courteous and careful.

Now I feel that Scandinavia may leave one with the same impression. I am so tired of the bogus religiosity and other forms of hypocrisy rampant in the US. Just one major example: the raving anti-abortion fanatics culminating in the killing of compassionate medical professionals in the name of "life".

We need to drastically improve our education system.
