I was in Europe (France and Italy) last week on business and I thank my Lord that I live in the US. Europeans are poor compared to us, period.

You think? They dress better than us. They have far more social options than us. Go out and buy things like flowers and the like more than us. Their produce is generally better than what you find in the US. Just look at the variety of dining/shopping options in your average European city, even smaller ones.

I don’t know. I’ve become very skeptical of what is called wealth lately.

Their is a spiritual poverty that I find very lacking in Europe, but I’m not sure I’m in the camp that says that we have so much more and they so much less.
