Where's Freedom in Sweden Now?

Swedes, rich and poor, were almost "giddy" in their quest for freedom and upward movement in their education when they migrated to the U. S. in the 19th and 20th centuries.  They loved music...They loved forming clubs with their fellow Swedes...They went to school and learned English...They loved the class-free America!  They came with a trunk and a Bible (with the men having a little glog!)  Chicago had a population of more Swedes than Gothenburg!   They played the fiddle, the accordion and they danced!  They had children whom they adored and for whom they created a warm hearth!  We loved being Swedish!  Du Gamla du Fria!  NOW the class structure in Sweden seems to evolved into a regulatory society where parents are told how to raise their children on one hand, and an "open-door" policy towards a group of persons who proclaim "We love death as much as Jews love life!"   HUHHH?????  Where's the drive to be free even from the restrictions of the one church in the War of Reformation?  Our King was killed.  Remember history?  Where are the true Swedes?  SEE WHAT MARCUS SAMUELSSON has accomplished by immigrating to this home,life-loving culture!  SWEDEN, where have you hidden your Christian roots?
