Yeah, Norway doesn't join EU because we don't want to be told what to do. The ironic thing is, we're members of EEC, which gives us a lot of the freedoms they enjoy in EU, but there is a price to pay. We do end up paying an enormous amount of money to EU and we get their rules and regulations. We can of course veto them, but in the end, there are too many to consider vetoing.

Btw, Norway is a border-country to EU, due to being members of Schengen. Another irony is that the EU-country UK is not member of Schengen, so that is not a border country for EU... Go figure!

Not true. Norway, who's a socialist country by some standards (hey, Swedes called Norway the last socialist state, it must be true), is very close to sustainable levels. Both on resident growth and economic growth.

We worry about future social security all the same, but we have higher expectations than Americans.

I am biased here, as I have worked with SELinux for years now, but Red Hat actually have a 4-day training course on SELinux: https://www.redhat.com/courses/rhs429_red_hat_enterprise_selinux_policy_administration/

I am doubly biased as I wrote the first incarnation of the course. (Yes, I am a Red Hat employee. Over 9 years now.)
