There are often comparisons in the

So what? Just because a few americans don't have their heads on straight,
does that make it fair to characterize us all that way?

Truth is, most modern americans hardly remember WW1, their recollections of
WW2 are second hand at best, and even the Vietnam war is fading from the
collective memory pretty fast.

PS. I don't blame the US for not wanting to get involved
in a stupid quarrel between the various european royal
families. Most of their subjects would rather not have

Europe is still the biggest collection of illogical minds who should know
better, around. The fact that each European country still thinks it is a
soveriegn state, until lately had its own currency, until lately guarded its
borders and treated the people next door like foreigners, and still can't
figure out a common language to speak. This is a real hoot except that it
is so sad. Heck, even the Canadians are language-stoopid.

Fact is in the US we have counties and cities that are larger, richer, more
populous, more diverse, more cosmopolitan than some European countries. The
only thing that keeps you apart is your egos.

For my whole life, my parents life, and my grandparents lives we've been
able to go any place among the 50 states whenever we wanted to, no customs,
no formal border crossing, talk the same language, spend the same money, and
if we met nominal residency requirements, vote in the local elections.

Europe was fighting wars among itself and killing millions of each other, on
several occasions since, when my grand parents came to the US and enjoyed
the same liberties I do, in the 1800s.

So you europeans smartened up a little just lately. You still have a long
way to go before you'll be where the US was two (2) centuries back in the
1800s.

Pick at nits if you will. My ankles hardly notice it.

OK, Rhode Island is small compared to Antartica.

France: 211,208 square miles

California: : 163,707 square miles:

Germany 137,858 square miles

Norway 125,000 square miles

Western Australia 1,021,478 square miles
Yeah, but it is all grass.

Queensland 715,309 square miles
Yeah, but it is all grass or desert.

Northern Territory 502,902 square miles
Yeah, but it is all grass or desert.

South Australia 402,903 square miles
Yeah, but it is all grass or desert.

New South Wales 312,528 square miles
Yeah, but it is all grass or desert.

So there you have it - 2 states bigger than Alaska, 5
bigger than Texas.
What you don't seem to get is that Texas is a civilized, productive state
with a number of great cities and modern infrastructure. Texas, just one
state has a population of 23,507,783, while the whole of Australia has
same-year population of only 20,600,856. Texas, just one state has a GSP of
$771 billion dollars while all of Australia has same-year GNP $544 billion
dollars. Do the math - the average Texan is almost 50% more productive than
the average aussie, which is one reason why we have less wasteland.

Alaska is the only US state that compares to Australia for absence of
civilization. Unlike Australia we have 49 other states that are definitely
civilized. Well, 48 - Nevada is pretty sparse. ;-)

but then, size isn't everything is it?
Exactly. Unlike underdeveloped spaces like Australia that are mostly desert
and grazing land, the US has plenty of empty space, *and* lots of
well-developed land populated by a wealthy,highly productive people.

Istanbul that any of the US cities I just named!

I don't know why the yanks haven't invaded Canada yet,
MUCH better lifestyle north of the border!

In fact millions of Canadians have emigrated to the U.S. because they prefer
the life style here. Both my wife and my daughter in law's families
emigrated from Canada. We also have thousands who live in Canada but work
on the US side to get the better pay. The traffic on our bridge and tunnel
is predominately US-bound in the morning, and Canada-bound at night.

Since the Detroit metro area is one of the largest (the largest?) directly
bordering on Canada, our hospitals are full of Canadians who are paying for
medical treatments out of their own pockets, that their own health care
system has, errr, "de-prioritized". You know, silly little things like heart
surgery, cancer treatments, and the like.


Don't worry Arnie, soon if you need treatment, your HMO will fly you to
Cambodia, the treament is cheaper there.

Perth has 1.5mil people in about 200ml*2 so there is another 700K in
the next million! So the trend is here as well ;-)

BTW I do sympathise with you being in Carnarvon in the sixties. So
you were either an Aboriginal field officer or a tech at the
tracking station? I would bet the later.

Cheers TT
Yes I was a trackie there for just over a year. A great place if you
like isolation and being bossed around by Wilson Tuckey who owned the
Port Hotel and was the Shire Chairman. I think that it was summed up
by the couple that parked along side me at the jetty on day, the wife
took a look and said "You mean we drove 600 bloody miles for this?".

I left there for a job at the Uni of WA at Nedlands, unfortunately
that didn't last long as it soon became obvious that there was
something of a gap between what they paid me and a living wage in
Perth at the time (and there were artistic differences with the
professor). So it was back to being a trackie, 2 years in Woomera,
got me a near new car and the deposit for a house. Another 3.5 years
as a trackie in Canberra where I (literally) taught myself to fix
computers and I have been in the computer industry ever since.

LOL :)) When I first read "Trackie" I read it as "Treckie". It
made more sense the second time though. It did conjure up some
interesting scenarios of why a "Treckie" was in Carnarvon though :))

As far as the locals were concerned we may as well have been beamed
down. We formed a definite subculture in a town full of "Interesting"
characters :)

Keith
I know a guy that worked at Woomera. His name is Tony Bell. After
Woomera he worked as a TV repair man for a while and then moved to
Western Australia to work at Muja Power Station. A very nice guy and
lots of funny stories.

** Sometimes Yanks leave out the "L" altogether when spelling "solder".

Since the 1970s and for a great many years afterward DSE sold this stuff:

It's still probably the best known "solder wick" brand.
Soder-Wick is now a registered trade mark. It makes you wonder if the
