Agreed. But then, to Max, there are only two choices.

I really like Jarlsberg cheese, don't know if making it notable,
productive, or indicative of creativity. I think the milk does have to
stagnate first

Jarlsberg is nothing but a recipe for emmentaller, stolen from the Swiss.

GDP per capita:

Norway, $42,800
USA, $41,600

(2005 figures)

Who'da thunk it?

I'm surprised it's so close. Norway has a population of 4.5 million vs. the
USA's 287.5 million. Bit of an apples/oranges situation, but considering
the disparity, I'm impressed that the USA has done so well. Speaks well for
the capitalistic system of self-reliance.

Norway will be facing a welfare state's dilemma soon:

Ever hear of Nokia? The big cel phone manufacturer? Norway was way ahead
of the curve in cel phone technology. Still is.

Using US, Japanese, and Korean engineers. The company is loaded with them.

Plus Nokia Hakkepallitta tires are the best snowtires you will ever have
the pleasure of driving on. Bar none.

Never heard of them. If they are so impressive, why don't they market them
here? The Tire Rack--world's largest tire retailer--doesn't have 'em.

Please stop being such an ignorant jingoist twit. Thank you.

Please stop being such an arrogant, self-righteous fart. You're welcome.

If it really annoys you so much then report me, all the info is there. My
provider will cut service and your source of irritation will be gone. Your
world will be a better place.

A sound and apropos suggestion for a fascist such as Walt.

Is that a familiar theme?

I see a familiar theme he "whatever Doug says has to be forced into a
mold (however poor the fit) of -liberal-."

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck . . .

This is the time to cut taxes?? I thought the economy is doing really
well. Why do we need to cut taxes for the rich even more?

Because it's *their* money?

Unfortunately, opinions aren't facts. Is self-reliance and motivation
better than actual problem solving?

In my opinion, yes. Self-reliance and motivation generally lead to problem
solving. Government seldom does. To the contrary, virtually every action
of a government has unintended consequences. Problem solved--another
created.

Their healthcare system is far better than ours for example.

They have 4.5 million folks--we have nearly 300 million. Quite a different
set of dynamics. And our population continues to increase, especially in
the demographics of the working and non-working poor. If you can provide
the recipe for a health care system that equals that of Norway but provides
for a population 65 times larger without bankrupting the country and killing
the economy, I'm all ears.

Yeah, her covered roast chicken was a close second. Had

the food 'deflavorizer'.

Did she steam broccoli for 45 minutes?

Steam??? Hell no, she boiled it. Mind you, she put up a
pretty good Pennsylvania Dutch holiday feast. I still make
her cherry pudding. Not what you'd think of as pudding,
more like a sour cherry filled moist pound cake concoction.

He's a child, and he does this trying to pretend to be a grownup.... Just
plonk the sockpuppets. It's easy.

Good grief, you don't even know how to keep your IP out of the headers.
At least Neal has that basic level of competence for all his

Pathetic.

Yes, the Norweigian one.
