Well, you can always win in the lottery I guess .. many do try to visit Norway on their old ages - I once had the pleasure of talking to some old ladies who was to visit their "ancestors" somewhere, and they rather nice woman - to a degree as they both was die hard republicans This was when GWB was president - and the kindest I could say to the two woman was that it was just 6 mounts to he had to leave the office - and then I was very polite to them both...

To be rich, or to be poor, you can still be kind, and have generous souls if you doesn't so much, or have the opposite problem - to much.. My grandparents was not wealthy either, but they alleyways cared for us, anyway, so I guess it is a strait in Norwegians - as one americans, whose father had been in Norway many years ago once told me.. Norwegians can be difficult to know - but when you really got to know them - you also have a friend for life... And I think it is a possibility of truth about it...

I doubt Breivik could turn Norway from our rather friendly culture, or that people tend to be less generous and kind even after what he did - if anything shows - I suspect he to have failed miserable with his actions, who turned people into maybe care more for everyone than the opposite.. I'm not sure how much you followed it when it happened a year ago - but instead of anger, of hate, many choose the opposite - and we had a few rather famous "rose-tog" where people was coming together - to show Breivik, and others who might hate our community, that most of us, would not accept what Breivik did.. I was in one of them - and it was rather touching and see how we all was standing together, regardless of "class" or jobs - and was just Norwegians..
