Dear Norway....

morgandawnI have loved you for many years...ever since I first heard about the Norwegian Blue Parrots who were pining for your fjords.....
Today, I have fallen again in love with your crazy plan to scan and make available to every Norwegian the entirety of your National Library. Yes, it will take 30 years. Yes, it will make every other country squirm when they realize they are (once again) being left behind on open source and free information access. And yes, there will be unhappy copyright owners fluttering feebly at your borders.
But if I could, I'd draw you you a valentine full of blue parrots and fjords and hearts.
Here, have some lovely Norwegian classical music.
