A HERETIC I AM

Yeah - I guess you was one of the few first one to encourage me to continue write - even if I also was experiencing the grammar police who hit me hard when I started to comment here on DU..

And I suspect my english today IS better than back then - as I think I have learned a few words - and I do had some base before I started to be active here... As we learn english rather early on in school... But I do know that my english is far from great - but I improve - and is expanding my words as I learn it better

And I guess I still know english better than you know Norwegian - and yes I'm from Norway

Well - I live in that belief that even americans can see the light - and be as smart as the rest of the world Just kidding - I think many in america is great - kind and caring as few - but It looks like you have your share of nut cases to be sure.... People who is elected to office in the US would have been put in a padded room and given a lot of medical need as they are seen as utter mad from our side of the atlantic... I seriously doubt any of them would have ended up in a elected office here in Norway at least - and I also doubt they would have had any power in public airwaves - as the rules is rather strictly enforces... And we have not any 1 amendment in our country - even though we do have freedom of speech - with that freedom it also is some responsibility - and that does the trick...
