The graphs I found on the site were regarding GDP per capita and unemployment. There were many other interesting ones as well.
The rambling on Defense and Social Security come from news stories, I've seen and budget discussion. That's why I didn't site any numbers on those. I think it would be very interesting to look at the world's defense spending on a graph.

I'm not having a very good time spelling tonight...lol. There is nothing more painful to see than a quote from one of your posts with a misspelling in it! Knowing I can't fix it drives me insane (more insane than usual). When Ziroc adds a spell checker to IW he will truly be the lord and master of the net IMO. I don't care if my ideas suck, but my spelling...well that had better be right
