is wizard (thank you, ). "Super Mario 2 has a great soundtrack. In this awesome rendition, though, Andrea Vadrucci proves that everything sounds better with percussion. We're also impressed by his drum set itself --- that thing is at least fifteen pieces." (ht: )

The following post may sound like an exercise in tomfoolery. However, if you know me at all, you know I'm prone to vaguely outlandish ideas.
I am applying for up to $15,000 in seed funding to create a startup internet company.
Here's the deal: I had the idea for a new and innovative website/company/community probably two years ago, at which point I just thought it was a pipe dream. Don't get me wrong, the idea is fantastic, but I had no means whatsoever to take the idea to reality.
I told a couple of other people about my idea, peppering the conversations with phrases like, "Nobody has thought of something this big," and "Don't you see the potential?" and "Seriously, I'm not insane." As it turns out, one of my good friends (Rebecca) actually thought the idea had some substance. We brainstormed and got excited together, but - again - we didn't have funding or experience. And then we both graduated from college and moved to different states.
But we never forgot about our idea.

Jim Wallis, the author of and head honcho of , tells us (). "The Great Awakening speaks of two great hungers in our world today—the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for social justice. I believe that the connection between the two is one the world, and especially a new generation, is waiting for."

You are being deported.
The is giving you two options for your destination country: Country A and Country B, respectively.
In Country A, all of the waiters and waitresses are very invasive. They visit your table far too often; asking if you'd like refills when your cup is still 3/4 full, asking how your food tastes two seconds after it has arrived at your table, etc (You know the type). They're very cordial, but extremely annoying.
In Country B, all of the waiters and waitresses are very distant and apathetic. They visit your table far too infrequently; they never refill your drinks, they don't care about your dining experience at all, etc (You know the type). They're insincere and very annoying.
These are the only bits of information you are provided about these countries. As far as you know, other than having opposite sides of the wait staff continuum, these countries are nearly identical in every other category (geographic location, population, GNP, per capita income, et al.).
Which country do you choose, and why?
