I don't want to comment on everything, because it's all so real and true, but I'll add that my heritage is Swedish and not only the idea of Jante is prevalent but also resentment of authority! They manage to live within a dichotomy that we Americans would quickly shred and politicize. Mostly they employ a sly sense of humor to do this. My son and I always said if we could live anywhere, we'd go to Sweden. Or maybe we could turn the US into a Big Mac Sweden--think that would work?

Amen! Happy 4th of July! I need a shirt that says, “Vote for Mitochondria and Moxie!”
