Wow -- evacuation! I've never really felt the desire to pick up arms before and join a foreign struggle, but this almost would be the case. Of course that is not the answer. I imagine the people that have lived there for decades and raised families are not happy (for those that don't know, Christiania was an 18th or 19th century military barracks abandoned in the late 60's). They even built playgrounds. It's in the middle of Copenhagen and they don't allow cars inside the walls which still surround it. Very alternative. Etc, etc. Because it was built for the military, no one was able to cut off the utilities.Originally Posted by Neo1
This is not in the news here at all. Maybe it will be on the BBC in a few hours. Why do you think the people of Denmark, who were "nearly socialists" for so long*, suddenly in the past ten years decided they wanted such a "bad" government?
*that is actually the reason my father emmigrated; he didn't want to pay taxes and felt the business climate would be better for entrepreneur types in North America, so he came here to make money. Which he did. But as an irony, his brother, who is also a mechanical engineer, stayed in Denmark and made even more money.
