Also sorry if I hit a raw nerve. I'm of German & Austrian descent, lived in Germany for six years, and have continued many friendships made while there. I based my remark on comments made by neighbors in Germany, by people I met on hikes and during weekend "Volksmarsches," and by the Germans who visit during their vacations to our American West -- and who still (even after re-unification) marvel at our vast open spaces compared to their "tiny, crowded country."
