For all you fans of Europe

Has anyone heard this line before? "The United States is going to hell in a handbasket". Or maybe it's "Our civilization is going downhill fast." These lines are usually uttered by an 80 year old senior citizen who yearns for the "good old days" of the past. Just when I start thinking, "Maybe these people are right", I read an article about something in Europe and realize that we are going to be OK. I saw an article today about the Germans wanting to erect portable "love shacks" for the 2006 World Cup so that prostitutes can service clients without offering their "services" in public. For those of you not aware, prostitution is legal in Germany. I guess this wonderful idea is the brainchild of some German politicians. Here is the article if anyone wants to read it. I already feel much better about our "screwed up" country.
