OT: whenever I see lists like this, I get the urge
to recommend living abroad for a while if one *really*
want's to see "perplexing" social behavior. One doesn't
have to go far - a western european country will more than
suffice.

For example, in France, le President de la republique,
Francois Mitterand kept a mistress and illegitimate
daughter at taxpayer's expense, and when rumors finally
began circulating, started wiretapping everyone
(at least all the journalists.) What a guy! One can understand
the French scratching their heads over l'affaire Lewinsky.

As for the ease of buying a handgun, well not here in the
Peoples Republic of Massachusetts...

Anyhow, the point really being we don't know how good we have it here.
