I don't think freedom is overrated and I don't like socialism too much and I think we pay too much in taxes here in Denmark, I don't hate cars, its just too expensive to own a car in Denmark for me with so high taxes on cars and more expensive to get a driver license than in the US. so I might not be super European but I know the world is bigger than USA, Canada, Mexico.
This one is a real pet peeve of mine. Because we travel so much to London (now live there, I guess) I get to see what dog ownership can be like: most dogs walk without leashes, are allowed on public transport and most of them are very well-behaved (connection?). Coming back to the U.S., it's one of the first things that strikes me. Dogs here are crazy, at least in big cities. They're "anxious", or barking, or biting, or "a rescue". Many people here pull their dogs to the side when others pass because they don't trust their animals to behave. I never once saw that in London where dogs just walk next to their owner, no leash or anything, maybe an occasional treat. As a dog owner, I've been observing this for years and trying to understand what it says about the two societies.
I thought the off-leash thing was just my pet peeve. I really hate it, the ironic lack of free frolicking like you would normally get. How bloody regimented everything is.
I live in Denmark and got 69 points.
You're almost European! :)
