text: I'm with Clayton.  How about providing some sources that support your assertions?
  
  I don't know that the Norway model is superior, but that doesn't mean there aren't aspects of it that could be utilized to our advantage.  I'm sick and tired of folks defending the status quo just because it's what they are familiar with.  I have no patience anymore for:
  My high school is the best because I assert it to be so.
  My religion is the best because I assert it to be so.
  My political affiliation is the best because I assert it to be so.
  My parents raised me the right way because I assert it to be so.
  My neighborhood/city/state/country is the best because I assert it to be so.
  
  And my favorite:  You hate Freedom and America if you disagree with me.
