Pumps' Perplexities

(I'm back.....Absence was related to medical
problems)......

Everyday on radio or TV, I hear political and
social "pundits" compare the United States
to other world countries, especially those
in Europe......A few facts......

The United States has 300 million people
and is larger than China, in land mass......
That being said lets start comparing......

The United Kingdom is smaller than the
State of Oregon with only 60 million people......

German is smaller than the State of Montana
with 82 million people......

France is smaller than the State of Texas
with 64 million people........

Thus WWII, in Europe, was Montana invading
Texas with Oregon coming to the rescue......
That is only three of the United States........

When someone compares the price of gasoline
and how it is used in Holland, it is the same
as driving in a country twice the size of New
Jersey......And Italy is the size of Arizona......

So much for comparisons......A "long haul"
truck driver in the United States has different
problems than a truck driver in Britain....
