I think, unfortunately, that the time has come for me to undertake a more rigorous study of the present economic and social situation in Europe. I tire of hearing (and ocassionally giving) hand-waving arguments for and against the Euroean economic models; I want to see the economic numbers, the opinion surveys, the suicide rates, whatever. I want to know what's really going on over there. We've all read articles about the problems with health care in the U.K. - what about health care in, say, Belgium? Is there any real advantage to doing things the European (nice catch-all, eh?) way? Are the economic costs really worth it? Time to roll over some new rocks. I know what I expect to find, but, will I find it, and if I do, can I convince someone else? Now, if I can just invent enough time to do all of this in...
