Checking in with Lenz Blog over in Japan
We've caught him in good spirits. Lenz Blog, subtitled "Copyright, Patents, WTO and whatever else interests me", is by a professor of German Law, European Law and International Trade Law at Aoyama Gakuin University in Tokyo. And his is a very good, outspoken and active blog. Of course Germans in the last century have known only smatterings of freedom--and so they have had instead, well, philosphy. So here is "World's Worst Country". Professor Lenz doesn't like rude U.S. immigration officials, torture, U.S. war crimes and hokey American tourism industry campaigns--nor does WAC?, or very many Yanks, for that matter. Fair enough. If it is of any consolation, I myself have been personally abused and nearly-tortured by attractive but humourless German waitresses in Mainz, Dusseldorf and Berlin who won't reciprocate when I try to chat them up.
