What Made Norway Great?
January 13, 2018 at 4:16 pm
Turns out Norway was once a shithole country from which 25% of it's workforce emigrated to the U.S. for better conditions. Norwegians were then able to demand better wages for a less numerous work force. This resulted in Norway becoming one of the richest welfare states in history. Norwegian Americans were destined to become the butt of Garrison Keillor jokes.

Could atheism be an answer?

Climate ?
Natural selection ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I hate to sound my pinko trumpet, but this is yet another case of a country being "great" due to workers being empowered.

Was Norway ever consecrated to the heart of Jesus ??

It's the lutefisk that did it.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
