Oops.  I confused Piet with Steve Pemberton, who is indeed in Sweden.  You
may still think that I'm really uneducated, but in fact I actually lived
in Sweden for three years, and I do know about these things.

Nevertheless, I don't go around saying things like, "Europe, you have
nothing to be proud of."

And although I am now an American citizen, this has only been for the past
four years.  I'm really a Pole.
