  I'm afraid I don't really see the connection.

  I think you may have posted this comment on the wrong article?

    Actually, the article is a "contrast and compare" statement. Norway is relatively open in its treatment of money and government, witness their handling of taxes. Alternatively, the US is relatively opaque, witness the article. I am not sure that I support either over the other. I had hoped to spur a conversation on the issue. I failed. It isn't the first time. Probably won't be the last. Perhaps because I am new to this process of posting and commenting, I failed to understand that it is necessary to draw the line. My apologies.

      It would help a lot if you had described in your original comment why you thought the other article was relevant, as you did to some extent here.

        That I did get. Not only did I not get a discussion going,(not for the points--but for the discussion) but at least two people were honestly confused by the post. What I have yet to learn is how deeply to comment if I should comment at all. I'd really like to contribute. But its clear that I would do well to stick to the reading unless its really, really in my field. Thanks for your help.
