RELATIVELY SPEEKING

ANSWERS TO THE RANDOM QUESTIONS GOING THROUGH MY HEAD.

The US is larger than China but has about 1,000,000,000 fewer people.

The US is slightly smaller than Canada but has 10 times its population.

The US is more than twice the size of the entire glorious European Union with 100,000,000 fewer people.

All this to say we have more land and resources with fewer people to use them than any country except Russia. And people, lets face it if push comes to shove and we needed Canada... well you get the picture.

We let everybody else supply our oil and resources while we spend very little of our own. Gas prices suck but we are still making it. I am glad to know that in the grand scheme of things we stand a pretty good chance of surviving a little bump in the road.

The doomsdayer EU lovers can put that in their pipe...er cigarettes... and smoke it.

I feel better now.
