Most of us Americans will never be satisfied, even though no other place on the earth is as nice to live (at least politically and socially...)

Americans do like saying that, but you never actually place first on thouse "best country to live" lists, infact you rarely make the top-10 (the USA placed 13'th last time i belive, it's usually just shy of the top-10), the winners are usually Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Ireland and the like.

They use Scandinavia as a boogie man whenever "socialism" is mentioned. "Son, if that's how you feel why don't you just move to SWEDEN of all god awful places!" "No, daddy, no! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"

The main reason Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries are sometimes rated higher (at least from what I have studied and what I understand) is that they are much more culturally and socially homogeneous (no where near as diverse as the US) which eliminates a lot of social problems. But, then again, I've never been there, so I really shouldn't be talking. And, this is politics.

Move along, move along, nothing to see here...

Bosnia, poster child for cultural and ethnic harmony!
Methinks the kind sir doth have Scandinavia and the Balkans confused ;)
