I posted this some time ago to the usual non-response, so here it is again: In the early 1960s, the CBS documentary series THE 20TH CENTURY aired an episode titled "Trouble In Paradise," raising the question "Are Sweden's SOCIAL WELFARE programs to blame for the country's alarming rates of juvenile delinquency, alcoholism, divorce and suicide?" (As goes Sweden, the other Scandinavian countries follow.) People did notice these trends, long before social media and that brilliant exemplar of modern social discourse, "WTF?" There was a followup to the story: when the show was screened for the Swedish press, some of the members got up and walked out. But of course!
jerry pdx Remember what muammar ghaddaffi told the UN in 2006: "We will conquer the West without firing a shot" Nothing that is happening today disproves that statement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVXZJ-SU9M8
20+ years ago the great Lee Rodgers on the KSFO morning drive program had a guest discussing muslims in Europe. He asked him which country was going to be the first to fall. He said "one of the Nordic countries".
Even though England, France, and Germany seem to be pressing hard to be the first. And the traditional New World destination of northern European pioneers, Minnesota, is keeping up with the mother countries' multicultirot.
Not a good selling point on travel brochures.
