I'm sorry to hear about Prince Henrik. I truly apologize for being political on here but it breaks my heart that our politicians would happily line their pockets with rifle association money, preach about being pro-life, but then letting children who are supposed to be safe at school, die. I hope that the rest of us sane ones will vote out the greedy assholes in the future. It's so important. I have a 15 year-old and I fear for her safety at school.
Being political is part of being human - and I sympathise with what you are saying. It is strange that a country that has never had a war on its own ground is so violent (except a civil war of course that still seems to haunt you).
As for the Prince... he was an old man who lived an interesting life.
