Glad to hear the elections are finally over. In the US they never end. You are right about change being good, but not to quickly is even better. Many Americans have a hard time with change.
According to some Americans (mainly the undereducated), we are now going to give a socialist government a try. Even though many Americans (the same group) don't understand the difference between socialism and communism, they think we just sold our souls to the state.
The smarter ones know the truth. We'll end up paying a boatload of money for more bloated bureaucracy, like a national health care system. Then again, it's probably better than what we have now, a society that actually understands the term "medical bankruptcy".
I hope Norway survives and thrives in the future. Only time will tell.
