Why is Scandinavia of today a very rich corner of the Earth?

The answer is a very simple one:

Because of Capitalism, healthy companies, good education, Lutheran work ethics, a broad national engagement in issues of economy and a strong inclination for competition.

At least to me, that equals intelligence, not Socialism.

To me champagne has always tasted like carbonated vinegar. I suspect that the real stuff doesn’t make it to the US. The French probably only send the US stuff that otherwise would be purchased and used as bio-fuel in Stockholm buses.

Whatever Fred Astaire and Ginger drank as they danced across tables has never passed my lips.
