It's a law
From BBC Radio's latest "From Our Own Correspondent," examining why millions still flock to the United States rather than the warm, loving womb of the European "social model":
"Why do you want to live here and not in Europe?" I asked a young woman from Ethiopia, who tipped back her Seattle Mariners baseball cap and looked at me as if I were completely mad.
"Europe," she said disdainfully.
"What do they ever hope for in Europe? Here they have a law that you can dream to be happy."
I love it! I'm even willing to overlook this woman's poor choice in headwear.
