Wow! Once again
it seems the Europeans are getting it! What the hell is going on here!? I thought America was the place to be free! And yet with all the BS restrictions and lawsuits it seems that it isn't.

I have no intention of living in Europe (too crowded for my tastes) but I gotta give them credit where it's due. It seems to me that they are more about freedom than the land of the free is. Isn't that pathetic?
