Well I'm really glad that mr. Morris knows so much about how European people think. A mind reader, is he?
Or rather not. I'm sorry to say it, but us Europeans "knowing we can't compete" is plain bull excrement.

My "blissful ignorance" comment was a statement on how that Europeans claim to be happier.I was saying many may live in a state of blissful ignorance, so believe they are happy but are unaware that they have no real economic liberty under the socialist style system.

Ah, now I finally know! I've never really been happy, it's all just been an illusion!
<facepalm>

So they may have their universal healthcare etc but do not have some of the liberties Americans have.The thing that bothered me most is say the NHS in Britain, even if you do no use the NHS, you still have to pay.
America is about the individual or was intended to be and most people still feel that way.Again, as Dick Morris pointed out, socialism can never really compete with capitalism.America really is that last bastion of TRUE freedom in the world and we are losing it fast under our current leadership.Obama is seen in europe as "wrangling" our country in so he is popular there.Luckily Americans have awaken and we will stop him.

True freedom, I can agree with you on that. Unfortunately, that also includes the freedom to be selfish and let other, less fortunate people die from disease and hunger.
