Thanks for the comments. Mine weren't intended as Euro-Bashing or anything. I actually think a debate on work ethic and how it meshes with healthy productive lifestyles is probably long overdue. Should most of our nation work in an environment that sees them opt for the four day weekend in lieu of the two three or four week vacation? What impact do these decisions have on families? Can a little less focus on work actually make an individual more productive when at work? I'm not sure these questions recieve adequate attention. Take care.

One or two weeks vacation is fairly normal for many working stiffs in the U.S. It's a national disgrace.
