Yeah, me too. I am a 100% Nordic person by heritage (Sweden and Norway), so I totally identify with socialism and support it. The Nordic people are infamous for alcoholism. I've studied it a lot. There are all sorts of explanations, but my favorite comes down to Darwinism. And, yes, I am a product of that as well. Anyway, thanks for weighing in!
