- Perhaps that's at least partly because the Finnish government has not
- pressured the country you live in to institute a drug prohibition, is
- not trying to change the patent and copyright legislation of it, is
- not forcing the country to conform to the Finnish ideas of export
- regulations, is not in the habit of invading other countries and shoot
- some people to kidnap their heads of state and engage in other acts of
- terrorism, does not hold the world's biggest nuclear arsenal (I
- think), and so on.
