It's going to take a few generations of moderates to really make an impact. Have a good one!
For now, I'd side to a certain extent with the "rednecks" in a lot of instances. As long as the radical Palestinians and associated terrorists, as you point out, are considered sacrosanct by the immigrants, and terrorism is not condemned by more of them, it's very difficult to justify their being here. Europe is now beginning to get a very strong sense of this - and the population of Denmark, especially, are losing their naiveté. The Danish Queen, who is only a figurehead, has made statements verifying her agreement with this as well.

I??d hate to see Christiana (outside Copenhagen) destroyed, but there were too many people that were physically and mentally diseased running around in the little anarchistic community: The more conservative government was, last year, moving in on reclaiming the land and evicting the dealers and other people living there. I was there about 8 or 9 years ago. Was able to score some nice stuff, at Christiana - and brought some back to the hotel room in Copenhagen.

I asked one Dane, in Copenhagen, for help in using the pay phone - and he took out change to pay for the call (which I refused, lol)! Even train conductors were extremely cordial - more than anywhere else I??ve been to. The people of Ireland ran a close second for being tourist-friendly

If the Danes have ??had it? with a certain group, and vice-versa, then there is something seriously wrong with this picture.


Have a good weekend!
