[NN] Re: POLITICAL: Obama's Agricultural Sec Vilsack

I don't think so bill. The moms were very serious about their childrens paths being chosen. And the officials on the military installation even confirmed the fining for mowing my lawn etc. on Sunday. Just because it does not fit with what you knew does not mean i do not know what we experienced there, nor what we were told officially and confirmed by German friends. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to that is fine. But please do not act like i have no idea how to tell the difference between someone yanking my chain or not. We can agree to disagree on our opinions of Germany that we are both basing on what we experienced while there. But i assure you i know the difference between the two. And when things like this came up that i found hard to believe i not only asked nationals i asked the US military officials who we were employed under to be sure i did not get in trouble for something as stupid as mowing.

I can only imagine that someone was having a little fun with you. They have more of an active democracy and practical freedom than over here. It's not the middle ages any more and no one fines you if you work on the sabbath. Some people might be conservative and set in their ways but others are extremely libertine. The laws are, on the whole, very much less confining than here. It just doesn't sound like a description of Germany at all.
