RE: belittling, insulting, and verbal abuse (OT) 4

It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual. This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man.Adolf Hitler

 Nothing like that gonna happen in My Country...

You can never know!

Denmark has many small islands where only a few people live and many of those islands barely survive. The Danish Social Welfare State is less than 60 years old and comes with a hefty price tag in terms of taxes, surcharges and other duties.

Here, a little Danish history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Denmark

Known as Cape Wind, the project is the nation’s first planned offshore wind farm and would cover 24 square miles in the sound, an area roughly the size of Manhattan. The park service decision came in response to a request from two Massachusetts Indian tribes, who said the 130 proposed wind turbines would thwart their spiritual ritual of greeting the sunrise, which requires unobstructed views across the sound, and disturb ancestral burial grounds.

The tribes — the Mashpee Wampanoag of Cape Cod and the Aquinnah Wampanoag of Martha’s Vineyard — sought the listing last fall, shortly before a final federal decision on the project was expected. …
