  1. I believe there was a post in the Mises Institute about Sweden a while ago, I'll try to find the link. As for the Kyoto protocol, I think you might find this insightful: http://www.junkscience.com/MSU_Temps/Kyoto_Count_Up.htm David, I have a question. What's the Objectivist alternative to democracy? Is it anarcho capitalism., i.e. no government whatsoever? Strangelove: As a matter of fact, I found a Norwegian translation of Atlas Shrugged about a year ago in San Cristobal de las Casas, in Chiapas, Mexico. So I guess a Swedish edition might not be that uncommon.
  2. Actually, Don Quijote was the last knight book (in the sense that, after the Quijote was published) it made Knight books almost non-existant. But the Quijote was much more than that. It marked the begining of modern literature by establishing the genre that governs the literary world to our day, the novel. The structure, the characters, the action, the themes...The way Cervantes shaped these things became the model in which future writers would shape their creations. Sancho Panza was not entirely rational. In fact as the book progresses Don Quijote turns less and less crazy while Sancho becomes more and more delusional. Some say that Cervantes masterpiece is the greatest book ever, I wouldn't agree. I sometimes find it too dull, too slow. However it has some of the funniest episodes I've ever read. One of the great feautures of the book is the validity its characters still posses in our age. I have seen plenty of Quijotes, Sanchos, priests, lawyers, Maritornes, Marcelas, etc. throughout my life. I've had a good laugh with them too. The way in which the Quijote opens you to funny aspects of life that you wouldn't have grasped otherwise is amazing.
