No, it wouldn't surprise me at all. Having lived in Europe I recall
generosity and the per capita figures are quite high <higher than the US
in some ways> yet then I also recall areas of total lack of individual
as well as organizational financial support (such as towards cancer
research... nothing like the American Cancer Society there)
Which dying population are "we" saying "****'em" about, again??
