What is Dutch Perspective?

A levensbeschouwing based loosely on two themes: public relations and cultural affairs. As this is a collection of opinions, I am not Fair and Balanced as Fox News, but rather Fair and Flexible as the Sprint cellular phone plan. Dutch Perspective was created in September of 2005.

What is levensbeschouwing?

Levensbeschouwing is the Dutch word for weltanschauung, which in turn is the German word for world view.

Anything else?

p.s. Do the Dutch really wear wooden shoes?
