Here is an email from a conservative cousin: Here is the actual url http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21571136-politicians-both-right-and-left-could-learn-nordic-countries-next-supermodel Check it out… Give me your feedback.. From: Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2013 3:35 PM To:   Subject: good reading *******, If you have a chance I urge you to get the February 2, 2013 edition of  The Economist.

We are in a depression muh like the one of the 1930's, only there we had fewer social s...
