    Yeah as a North American I always look sadly at so many of those European nations, not making any progress because they’re so busy providing healthcare and education for their people, wasting what’s left of their economic power expanding human knowledge while creating beautiful art and food and culture and protecting thousands of years of heritage and natural spaces.
