Weep for the Scandinavians.
They went from the Vikings - to this.
Now you have some idea why Minnesota is so screwed up politically. We have an excessive number of Scandinavian-Minnesotans, and they lean toward liberalism.
Of course not all of them are liberal, but they mostly are Lutherans of the ELCA variety, and that sort of philosophy is what they hear from the pulpit. The ELCA churches are shrinking, however. Not surprising.
