In my experience Scandinavia (well nordic really, can't forget finland) and
germany (and a few other european countries...notably not england) are much

their concerns are sensible ones. Something in the mentality. northern
america/UK etc are much more short-sighted in their perspective.
Just a norwegians point of view, thats all.......
