Thank you for your words.. I dot pretend that Norway is a perfect country - or that we are all progressive - but I think we are at least we have been able to have a decent education - who make people think for them self.... And it maybe also help, the fact that Norway as of now - is a peacefully nation, who for the most part disregard the use of military force, over diplomatic solutions... Something I suspect greater powers could use also... And it maybe also help, that religion, is a matter of personal belief, not something you want to push down others throat as it is...

And we do not have capital punishment in our legal books anyway - the last one who was executed in Norway - in peacetime was a man who stole horses - in 1848, he was hanged in a place called Galgeberg, who then was out of Oslo city limits - today it is part of Oslo - but I guess not to many know where the gallows was standing - I know - as one of the first nations in Scandinavia we choose to end the use of execution - at part of enlightenment I guess The last one, who was executed in war time - was after 1945, where the last ones was executed in 1946 Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling is maybe one oft he best known people, who was executed after the war... But first after been in a trial where he had the possibility to explain himself...

Presently, the extreme right have no power in Norway - and compared to what is in US this days - even the more far right of the conservative movements have no real powers - as the more responsible parts of the conservative parties will have no part of them in governance - and for the most part - even Fremskrittspartiet - or the progress party if you want - have local and national politicians who hold the interest of Norway highest han their own small interest. For the most part our politicians is honest - and who maybe be far to the left, compared to what is the case in the US...

You are not alone - and will never be alone Judi Lynn - Even if the media in the US tell you that US is a conservative nation, and it looks like the extremists of the far right more or less have stolen all the power - you are not alone.. Most of us can not do anything to change things from where we are today - at least we can give you all the moral support we is able to give you - and also to show you, that other nations have a rather progressive agenda... Something that even the US can do - if they is able to turn the ship around.. You must remember - the extremist will ALWAYS take it to far - and it will always end in miserable failure when the people discover how horrible they have been treated.. I guess the nobles, in France right before 1779 also believed that the peasants would never try to revolt against them - and was partying right up the revolution - as others did in 1848, and later on in the 1917-1918 revolutions in most of Europa.... When the peasants get angry - no police power - and no army can hold them in shackles..

Stay safe Judi Lynn - you wil never be really alone - even if it looks dark - and it looks like the conservatives (or the far right as I wil put them as) have all the power - sooner or later - the day of reqonizing is there - and they wil pay the prize for what they did ... No one - even not the former President and Vice President wil one day - do the time... Hopefully before than we know..
