Remembering the secret of the bear, I find a small, easily concealable
.22 pistol to be far more useful when hiking in grizzly bear country.
Confronted by a grizzly, pull it out and shoot whoever you're hiking
with in the knee, then run like hell!

Don't forget that real men have an AK-47 or equivalent in the woods
with them, no mere grizzly would be an issue.

Yeah John, Scandinavia is for girly men. I want to live poor and die
young, hopefully at the hands (paws?) of a grizzly bear in the woods
(where I'm forced to live because I can't afford a house and there is
no help from the government for scientists living below the poverty
line).

I can agree with you there, being relatively conservative by
Norwegians standards. One reason why republikanske are not very
popular around here is that they usually don't seam to know much
about the world outside the US. And in the previous election they
used Skandinavia as an example of a system they didn't want :-)
Just compare The US to Scandinavia ...
Scandinavia = Denmark; Finland; Norway; Sweden (Numbers from OECD):
Healthcare cost as percent of GDP:
US 17.4% - Denmark 11.5%; Finland 9.2%; Norway 9.2% Sweden 10%
Healthcare cost per capita:
US $7,960 - Denmark $4,348; Finland $3,226; Norway $5,352; Sweden $3,722;
Infant mortality (deaths per 1,000 live births before their first birthday):
US 6.8 - Denmark 4.4; Finland 3.0; Norway 3.1; Sweden 2.4
Life expectancy at birth (Total Population):
US 78.7 - Denmark 79.3; Finland 80.2; Norway 81.2; Sweden 81.5
Life expectancy at age 65 (Males):
US 17.7 - Denmark 17.0; Finland 17.5; Norway 18.0; Sweden 18.2
Percentage of persons living with less than 50% of median equivalised
household income:
US 17.3% - Denmark 6.1%; Finland 7.9%; Norway 7.8%; Sweden 8.4%
Easy to see why we wouldn't want anything like *THAT* for the U.S.
