Beautiful Finland.

A friend forwarded an article from the Washington Post about Finland, called In Finland's Footsteps. It is mostly about the education system but also mentions how well it is making a welfare state work. I know I am somewhat partcial to Finland, you know, being my home country and all, but here are other people saying that Finland is wonderful, with numbers to back it up. Let's all move there. I am getting so excited to go next week!!



And you wonder where I get all my crazy socialist ideas of universal health care, education, and that politicians should be honest and responsible...



Well, you actually probably don't.

As Michael Palin sings:

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall.
Finland, Finland, Finland.
Finland has it all.


Plus, in Finland I could go to a Varttina concert. I love Varttina!
