Miscellany - The Overview

Food - shelter - clothing. These have always been the everlasting concerns of mankind. I've covered shelter in some detail. But, what about food and vital Irish concerns like drink?

For those of you who are numeratically inclined: a subscriber sent me a link to the ultimate numbers site. It's called NationMaster.com and features thousands of official statistics for every country on the planet. Compare Ireland's taxation rates to the rest of the world or its child poverty rates. Everything from measures of militarism to education. Endless amusement for the statistically challenged.
