Yeah, but I heard you get all sorts of social benefits paid by the state. I wouldn't mind living in Sweden, actually. Learning Swedish wouldn't be such a long way from German.

Yes, a lot of the taxes goes to social benefits but lately the governments have been struck by megalomania. A (lost) bid for the olympics in 2004 was something we taxpayers had to cough up money for, a bridge between southern Sweden and Denmark which they swore we wouldn

Very interesting. Still, corruptness depends on who leads the state, not the country.

You should view it with Mozilla for now, though, as it uses CSS2, and I didn't have time to check it with every browser yet.

Uhm, I scoped your page with Mozilla (cuz I was bored) and I coulda swore I saw white text over a white background - on your lefthand navigation. That's not necessarily a good thing.
And my two cents:
It seems like the American way is to not give a whole lot of money to the government and then complain about how the government doesnt do anything for them. If you want health care and education and recycling and whatnot, somebody has to pay for it. But if taxes were increased, it would end up paying for defense anyway. I suspect that the reason Canada and Sweden are able to provide great services is that neither country has a multi-trillion dollar war machine to feed.

What version of Mozilla do you use? I tested my website with Mozilla 1.4, both in FreeBSD and Windows, as well as Netscape 7.1. The page is supposed to display white text on a black background, as on this picture.

Perhaps you customised your page display? This is my first real website, so I want to know as much as possible.

I used Mozilla 1.6a for windowsXP, and it's a nightly build from like 2 weeks ago. It looks like your black image with the circleK is displaying really thin, leaving the white crosshatch background visible.
Like so:
