Denmark?

Denmark? Here is my take. It is one of the most liberal nations upon the earth. Is San Francisco too conservative for you, then Copenhagen, Denmark is for you. Denmark is one of the most liberal nations in Europe, but in this nation you will find some very good people.
My thanks to a reader from Denmark who set me straight on a few things. I was wrong in a writing harsh things about Copenhagen. I was mistaking Copenhagen with Amsterdam. I'm sorry. Here is my source for the comments about the drug situation in Copenhagen. I am rewriting this article and will try to stay unconfused in the future. (Dream Large, I say)

Smoked Danish

Where Copenhagen

Legal position The cannabis market is illegal, but it is very rare to be arrested or charged for possessing small amounts.

According to Chris Fowlie, head of the National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in New Zealand, who toured the world to research cannabis regulations and culture.

Why? 'In the middle of Copenhagen, in a former army barracks, is a 30-year old squat called Christiania of more than 1,000 people and whose most famous feature is a marijuana and hash marketplace. Governments have constantly threatened to close it but never succeeded. Pusher Street is lined by 20 wooden booths where dealers sell large bricks of exotic hash and baskets of marijuana from around the world.'

You’ll find many hard working people that take the 40% of their pay that the government lets them keep after taxes, work hard and live comfortably. The Danes will take in anyone in need. History has shown the world that the Danes don’t hate many people, if any at all. Their form of a socialist democratic monarchy works very good for them, and the workers there, produce some very fine products. I know you’ve seen those metal tins of Danish Ham, those tins of Danish Butter Cookies, seen some of the many cheeses they make in Denmark, and probably bought a Biro train set, or a large box of Lego’s, for yourself, your children or someone you know. I’ll probably pass on the DAK ham, but I am going to start helping my liberal brothers and sisters in Denmark, in this first battle of WWIII.
I wanted to be the first to stand up and say….Buy Danish, but many other conservatives jumped up and beat me to it. There is not a doubt in my mind that the Danes would do the same for us, if we needed help.

This really has to be a quandary for the liberals in the USofA……The conservatives are rushing to the help (AGAIN, as in New Orleans, Gulf Coast, 2005) of liberals in distress, in far off places, while the liberals here walk away from those in need. I am sure it must be a hard decision for them, after all, the enemies of Denmark are the same friends of theirs that they hope will see our warriors defeated, and returning in body bags, so that George Walker Bush will be impeached.
