I haven't been around lately, but I do have some thoughts on things I've read about here on LJ. It's just that my perspective is Scandinavian, and I've already been somewhat burnt from attempting to discuss cultural differences so I'm wary of jumping into the fray.

I found a thought-provoking article via Arts & Letters Daily yesterday: The downside of diversity. I think I need to reread, though. We have problems of our own, but they're not easily transferrable to US circumstances.
