You mentioned a few good authors but there are oodles of them, waiting for you to find and read them. Not all are translated but you might also like Camilla Lackberg, Karin Altvegen, Hakan Nesser, Arnaldur Indridason (Icelandic) Anne Holt and Karin Fossum (Norwegian) to name a few. They really give you a picture of life in Scandinavia. Marianne Fredricksson is also a great read, but not crime fiction.

]]> Comment on Drug Rehab Serbian Style by Fed-up with the BS Drug War http://www.stefanrasmus.com/blog/?p=176&cpage=1#comment-63 Fed-up with the BS Drug War Sun, 24 May 2009 19:06:27 +0000 http://www.stefanrasmus.com/blog/?p=176#comment-63 "Exorcism" is an excellent comparison, here. I have long ago come to the conclusion that organized religion is evil, and becomes positively toxic to everyone else once these folks get a toe-hold on any kind of political power. The evils of organized religion aside(wether it be Catholics raping and beating orphans in Ireland or Christians abusing inmates of a Serbian rehab center), this whole jihad on drugs thing is largely a US- invented and promoted perversion of both Christianity and the Constitution. Unfortunately, it's also a perversion that the US has pushed upon much of the rest of the civilized world. If the US wasn't so god-awful stupid and stubborn, we wouldn't still be spending $100b a year on the War on(some) Drug(-users) after 4 decades of abject failure, we wouldn't be pushing our peculiar personal and religious hangups onto the rest of the world, and this Serbian "rehab" center would likely never have birthed it's evil upon Serbia. Why are there no centers that beat, kick, torture and abuse alcoholics "for their own good"? (just curious) Unlike most other drugs(legal and illegal) alcohol is a crimenogenic substance that causes many people to commit violent crimes under it's influence yet no one is suggesting we ban it let alone jail folks who choose to consume it. Most illegal drugs aren't crimenogenic by nature, but nearly all the crime that surrounds their use can be directly attributed to drug *prohibition*, and NOT the drug itself. Religion still kills more people than either drugs or political violence combined, therefor I propose we outlaw religion, and start throwing it's adherants in prison. Maybe we can open a chain of franchised "re-education centers" for these folks, so they can get a taste of their own medicine, bill the taxpayers and private insurers for our "services", and profit handsomely while making the lives of our fellow man, unjustly and uneccessarily miserable. After all, that's been The American Way for nearly 40 years on. This fraudulant, immoral, corrupt and unconstitutional drug war's days are numbered - if not due to the collapse of the US gov't, than due to a candidate like Ron Paul finally getting into the Whitehouse and undoing 50 years of crap in his first 50 hours on the job. I'll happily settle for either one, and hope I'm around to see it. “Exorcism” is an excellent comparison, here.
