>>And "rocketing ahead" isn't true. Its got a slightly larger GDP per capita ( en.wikipedia.org ) but it isn't that far ahead by that measure. The only other European country ahead of us is Luxembourg.<<

Tim -

I looked this up recently, and found that Norway's GDP per capita is about twice ours.

I was using that data to support the same contention that you are making, namely that Norway is not comparable to the US. It's more like Alaska, if Alaska were a separate country. Though Alaska probably has more cultural diversity.
