Yes, they may be more socialized than the US, but aren't their primary system of economics still considered capitalistic? (with the possible exception of Sweden, whose system I don't know much about)

The life span figure surprises me as well. I don't usually ask for sources, but I'd like to see what you've got here. -- It was dark all around there was frost on the ground when the Tigers broke free. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243978 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
