/src on/Ms. McArdle is moving to the Washington Bezos so she can write this obviously racist article as a parting gift to Bloomberg./src off/ So what should to nobody's surprise except a sizable portion of the Left is culture and I would add genetics matter. I am very Burkean about this issue. There is no one size fits all model for political-economy. Scandinavia has developed their own models that people who live there are happy with. That model would spell a disaster in the US because we have in many cases a mirror image of those countries. It seems the Danes have wised up to the threat importing people from a culture that is the anti-version of what the Danes stand for.

Hey, why not? Some people claim there are Palestinians even though there's never been a Palestine!

[Altura Ct.]

Imagine that. Just like you can’t have the West without whites.

Hamlet was right.

Trust.

I live in New England, and the ‘get the money’ thing is so out of hand, not just with Govt but private businesses too that it feels like being stuck on the Ferengi home world in an episode of Star Trek TNG.

The United States of America is in danger of being turned into Mexistan.

Dane-Geld

A.D. 980-1016

It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

Hamlet?

Or Marcellus?

All one needs to have a utopian society is to get rid of all the slackers, minorities, and foreigners. Every one blond haired and blue eyed. Just like Hitler wanted. But, as Denmark is finding out, it takes a whole lot less than 13% to ruin a utopia.
