My wife and I visited Helsinki, Finland for one day a couple of years ago. We took an overnight cruise ship from Stockholm to Helsinki, arriving early in the morning. We returned to Stockholm on the same ship, leaving late in the day and arriving back in Stockholm in the morning.
We were impressed with Helsinki (and with Stockholm). The city seemed, in many ways, more sophisticated that U.S. cities. It seemed less concerned with material things and more concerned with people and the way they experienced the world. Helsinki was not a place we would ever have expected to hear about a student murdering other students.
The plague of insanity is crossing the globe. It got Bush. Now, the crazy young Finn named Pekka Eric Auvinen has engaged in mindless attacks and has, himself, died in the process. Insanity. I'm appalled. I'm disgusted. I'm coming to grips with the fact that this is the world today. I'm not happy about it. But I know this is it.
