Homework sucks. Yes, yes it does. Anyone want to do mine for me?

Ack. I'm sick and friggin tired of spending all of my free time doing homework. AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm sitting outside on my deck with my wireless connected laptop doing homework. Noooo, not enjoying the beautiful weather.....writing about the economic conditions and statistics of Germany and when I get done with that I need to write 10 more pages about the importance of Just in Time manufacturing! Why oh why did I do this to myself!? *Sigh*

/end whine

without paying for it? And someone will actually pay attention to what you have written?
Some people have all the luck.
What years are you talking about - current, or past? I usually try to take things over time. For example to compare Spaichingen, Deutschland to Richland Center, Wisconsin. In 1900 both were cities/towns of 5,000 people. Today, Spaichingen has about 13,000 people and Richland Center still about 5,000. Their little towns have grown whereas here people have left small towns to move to urban areas.
I did a very cursory over-view of Austrian economics compared to American

"I notice that Arnold used the S word, comparing the Democrats to the government/economy of Austria. So I did a little comparison, courtesy of google and the CIA's world factbook. In per capita GDP they are at $30,000 compared to $37,800 for America. So they are not quite as rich. In spite of that only 3.9% of their population lives in poverty compared to 12% for us. Their lowest 10% spends 2.5% of the national income compared to 1.8% here. Their highest 10% spends 22.5% compared to 30.5% here. So America is probably a better place if you are in the top 10%, like Arnold is. Of course he came to America with nothing. Well, nothing if you do not count several world bodybuilding championships, so his Horatio Alger story is one of his "True Lies". The average Austrian man lives 76 years compared to 74.63 here. The CIA does not have certain other statistics like how Americans start working younger and retire later than most Europeans, how we have longer work weeks, fewer vacations and fewer holidays, more crime, more violence, and more people in prisons. It does mention that Austria does not have a huge national debt. All in all, they are not doing too badly with their "socialism". It is too bad that Arnold is not a little older, or he might realise how much Bush deserves the other F word too."

someone reading it and paying attention? Well, I kind of doubt the professors ever actually read anything that I submit for credits. I just get the intellectual stimulation and the ability to spout little know facts about the German economic situation. Did you know there are over 55 million cell phone lines active in Germany as opposed to 50 million land lines?

I really need to stop screwing around and get back to it. :-)

everybody knows that,
but the actual numbers are 54.73 million versus 50.31 million, and part of that is due to the DDR being so under-developed in land-lines that after the re-anschluss they just went with cell phones instead of putting new land lines in. It was somewhat serendipitous. :P

has recently taken hold over there too. :-) Guess my research will settle that.

to look up each difficult word in a dictionary (yes, one word at a time). Then, have to proof read it, and use massive amounts of white-out (you may not know what the stuff is). Writing a paper was a major ordeal, for me anyway. Oh, and I almost forgot that horrid card catalog system in the library...it took all day just to find a few references!

*sigh* I guess I'm one of those new fangled unconventional students.

I hear there is an opening at Burger King store #2245 for a floor sweeper. Just think of all the nickles you might find! ;)

the theater and I'd make a killing every night cleaning up the floors. Tons of cash just laying around waiting for lil ole me.:-)

;)

lost cash just laying around. Oh yeah and an awesome health benefit plan too. Heh Heh:-)
