i am pretty sure it does - and belive me i do not doubt that holland is a productive country.
infact i love you guys there and i have MANY good dutch friends.
but what i have learned in a quite long and not so unsucsessful life is, that the BIGGEST mistake one can do is to overestimate the own power.
and sure holland will NOT be under water in 30 or 40 years but not because holland is smart enough to build bigger and bigger damms - it is a result of more people in the world start think different.
THAT is one of my major arguments for globalisation - because nearly every country in the world today is able to fuck the whole planet.
and if the planet is fucked - it does not make a difference if you own a small piece or a big piece there.
I really did not go into deep research about holland economy and society - the world is too big and there are too many things to know about. but i GUESS (and as i said this is NOT a research but a guess) that holland is suffering a lot from this costs and technices to prevent the water breaking in.
and NO i am not one of this people who would say then "it is THEIR PROBLEM" - fo me it would be OUR problem too.
i just would wish, that the world finally give up this " we are better " bullshit because we would be BEST if we do it TOGETHER.
i hate it that people seeks enemies and think about eliminate them instead of finding ways to make their enemies to partners and friends. for THAT it is worth to stand and invest time and energy.
so donīt worry when i try to put this thoughts sometimes in more imaginable pictures.
