Dear all in the USA,

I have only  w o n d e r e d , but I accept this explanation, though being
astonished. We Europeans always think of the USA as the "land of unlimited

understand the conditions we live in in different parts of the world?

Nevertheless there were several very positive reactions to my comment - from
the USA.
