Hello Allen,

Not sure if this is the right forum to send in happy thoughts and comments about the University or if it is more of an administrative channel. Nevertheless, I just wan't to tell you how glad I am that I discovered Dennis about four years ago at Townhall.com.

My brother Jorgen had just died of cancer, 36 years old, and I was up all night, every night reading things just because I couldn't sleep in the pit of darkness that I was in. I started listening to various hosts on Townhall and soon discovered Mr Prager. I am a Pragertopia member and Dennis is The mentor for me. I just love it!

As a person from Sweden the video: "The bigger the Government..." is right up the alley when it comes to my country. I just wish that americans could understand the downgrading of humanity and freedom squashing that socialism is. Dennis is right about that people here just think about vacation and how to work as little as possible. It's true.
 
And why? Because of the taxes. Since it doesn't pay to work a lot, people opt not to do that. And that means of course that you cannot be in charge of your life, you cannot change your life by working harder since the Taxman will take your hard earned money away from you if you do that. Hence slacktime... It is bothersome.

The last best hope for humanity has always been the US of A in my opinion. Since I was a kid in a small steeltown here in Sweden I have looked to America instinctively. USA has always been comforting for me since young age. I can't explain it, it just happend, and same for my brother who had a strong moral compass.
 
I love America and it's values. I have lived there for a year some twenty years ago (I'm in my 40's now). And now it is sad to see that USA has a President that has values like europe. For now there is nowhere to go for us that always has looked to America as a stronghold for freedom. It is very sad, but hopefully shortlived.

Kind regards
Bengt Olsson
