So the best they got to defend themselves is that Kopechne had to die because we otherwise would have found out worse about him and his career would have been over? Really?? I don’t know why I’m shocked but I am.

Mrs. Firefly and I get the same thing from her German relatives. They have no interest in even listening to our reasoning. It’s, “Well, of course this is better.” Why is it better? I think they use the Associative Principle; Europeans have socialized medicine. Europeans are better than Americans, ipso facto, socialized medicine is better.

Stephanie,

That’s a very interesting theory. Like me, I think when asked to list the great, Engineering societies of our world most folks would list the Egyptians (maybe), the Romans and the Germans.

And that Scandanavian is the perfect example of why Europe is failing. What an idiot. God they don’t understand the United States do they? COmpletely friggen baffled. Why do I give Europe a bad time? Mike’s example is why. Idiots.

My sister the social worker was at a conference a couple of weeks ago where the topic of health care reform arose. There was a Scandinavian present, who could not understand why President Obama didn’t just tell us all what to do about it.

Its Romans v. Greeks again. Greeks liked big ideas and Romans liked big stuff. Its Greek Stoicism v. the Colleseum.

Rufus,

There is a simple explanation for that. Most big ideas are lacking important details while most big feats come from combining many small ideas.
