Breaking News: Europe doesn't get it

Europe simply can't comprehend the results of these midterms.

I don't think I'm qualified--or possessed of the time--to write an entire dissertation on American vs. European thought.  But I'll give you Euros an example to ponder, a sort of Western koan, if you will.

All over Europe, people are protesting, shutting down industry, and in some cases rioting.  For what cause?  They want the government to give them more free stuff, or keep giving them the usual free stuff.

All over America, people are peacefully and respectfully protesting.  For what cause?  They want the government to stop trying to give them free stuff.

Given enough thought, this will hopefully sink in.
