Being in Belgium for a
Being in Belgium for a short while, I get to see the news here again. The first person ever took advantage of a sensible law making euthanasia possible in certain cases. Doctors are starting to use marihuana for pain control purposes with cancer patients - "the effect is not like when you smoke a joint" was reported. A UN research project ranks Belgium the 4th best country in the world to live in (the USA is nowhere up there). And the German speaking part of Belgium (70.000 people! Their own parliament! Their own official language!) are called "the best protected minority in the world". Things are ok in Belgium.
