"The dark night of fascism is always descending on the United States yet lands only in Europe" was attributed to French socialist Jean-Francoise Revel by Tom Wolfe, though I don't believe any source has been identified. Wolfe added another story about Gunter Grass to make up for it.
So here we are again, the nice Danes. I like them. Everyone likes them. But Scandis as a whole really really want everyone to get along together by being just like each other. What a nightmare for the Inuit not so many years ago. Who would sign off on this?
It seems to be better now.
I certainly hope so, because son #4, Christian Andrew is applying for Norwegian citizenship. I'm betting they don't have many citizens who were Transylvanian shepherds at age 6 before being sent to an orphanage, adopted to America at age 13, and in the USMC before moving to Tromso. The set inside each of those circles has got to be very small, and as a Venn diagram he's likely unique. It will be his third passport.

My first year qualified was in N Saskatchewan. The base and hospital was the end of the road, (heavy equipment had to go on ice roads in the winter) and the furthest clinic was a twin engine flight just south of the provincial boundary (?pretty far north)
I was putting ( consented) IUDs into Chippewayan women until one visit and they all came together to have them out.
The elderly priest from somewhere in France, sent out as young man from the seminary ( this link since voyageur days) said to get them out. Initially I was outraged, but then thought - he has given his life to them. Not me. He the better one to listen to. Whatever I think.
I wish I could meet your son. He sounds like a kick.
