Scandinavia is often looked upon as a region known for its "progressiveness".
I'm not so sure it deserves the tag.
Killing a baby based on gender is purely deplorable act of injustice towards humanity. Forget the "right to choose" angle and think about what we're doing as a species. Forget about viewing things through a conservative, liberal, pro or anti prism for a second. Suspend your "rational" logic. Think about this for a second.
Then look at your child. Your nephew or niece. Someone you cherish and love. Think about that mentally challenged kid you adore or the inspirational neighbor dealing with a disease. Think about humanity for a damn second.
Sweden (or Scandinavia) is not a model for us. They've nothing to teach us. Got that Quebec?
Yes, Sweden has gone off it' rocker. However they have a conservative government now. It has not changed their values though.
ReplyDeleteBut what is conservative in Sweden? Far-right? Is it like Canada?
ReplyDeleteThat's why people like Geert Wilders (in Holland) pop up here and there. People are blowing a gasket.
This whole "progress" and "welfare state" thing is a very, very delicate balancing act. What is the line between "progress" and "indifference"?
Yes indeed and balancing goes against the pendulum law. When the pendulum stops balancing from left to right...the clock stops.
ReplyDeleteWell said, my friend, very well said.
