  9. Odd that you should mention that...I grew up in an American/Finn household and after WW2..Finland didnt have a lot of hip slick and cool modern American/high tech goods, so we would ship whatever our Distant Finn family needed to them, and in return they would ship Finn goods back to us in the States. I went to elementary school with a fur coat, Lapp mukluks', hunted and fished with Finnish knives and similar stuff. It made for interesting times when a big ol box would come from Soumi and we would crack it open. As a side note...Id not heard Finn spoken in years and lost most of the pigdin Finn we spoke in our Northern Michigan Finn community. I waltzed into the local (California) DMV one day and got whiplash when I heard an employee with a Finn accent. When it was my turn to get to the window, she was standing there and as I was ruffling through my paper work...said "Hyvää huomenta". I looked up and she was frozen like a Cariboo staring at me...and she said "Vat did you say?" and I repeated it "Hyvää huomenta"....and it was like a dam broke loose as she started spewing high speed Finn at me with an amazed look on her face. I smiled and said "Hitaasti!" and she froze again...and then we both started laughing. I explained to her that that was about all the Finn I remembered, and explained growing up in a Finn/American community and recognized her accent immediately despite it having been almost 50 yrs since leaving there. We have become good friends and always greet each other in Finn when I go in...which drives the usual Mexicans and locals crazy. Good times!! I took a 8 month walkabout in Europe in the mid 70s and visited Finland and our family there. Got to see Sako (family was on the engineering staff) and got to meet Simo Hayha, as a favor from my cousins, after mentioning Id been a 11B-4 in Vietnam. Very nice man. We spent a nice afternoon at his home discussing war.

  99. Some of us Ugly Americans are half Finn and have been to Soumi more than once. In fact..on my first trip nearly 50 yrs ago..I spent an interesting afternoon with Simo Hayha discussing the world, politics and being a 11B-4 in Vietnam, versus in Soumi. Interesting to compare notes. Given your political system is a lot less "free" than the American one..ours guarantees "guns like candy" as you so hysterically funny, put it...and your political system is about 170 yrs newer than ours is..and your nation was an offshoot of Soviet Russia..I can see your bias. We have this pesky old shabby piece of paper called a "Constitution" that spells out the limitations on government..one part of which says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Now its true that in many places its been terribly infringed upon over the past 40 yrs..but we are doing everything we can to correct the drift to the Left. And its working. And yes..a goodly part of the planet is "totalitarian" in many regards. Even parts of the US could be considered "totalitarian"..but given we have 50 seperate states...most of those are returning to the doctrine laid out by our Founders..and as the political climes change..getting away from the politics of the American Left..which incrementally took many states to the Left...its happening. Now we have two choices..we can simply have the Second American Revolution and change it rapidly..with 200,000 dead leftists dozed into ditches..or we can do it humanely and take a bit more time at it. Time will tell which occurs first...but it is..is..is changing back to what our Founders laid out.
