While I think Michael Moore might paint Norway in a much rosier light than reality (speaking from a cynical, American — conditioned by Fox News and conservative pundits — perspective of course), I still think this bit from the special features on the DVD for "Sicko" should give Americans food for thought. I like the quote by the interviewed Norwegian: "What we call a conservative in Norway, I suppose most people in the United States would call liberal." I also think it's remarkably enlightened that they are utilizing biomass for generating electricity. (It's not a myth; here's an article about using biomethane to power buses in Norway.)
