Ummm...I'm not going anywhere and I'm not having a hissy fit.

Jacob cited each of these countries as being ahead of the curve vis-a-vis the United States in providing specific freedoms and tolerance for their citizens. If the measures he cites are in fact the most timely, pertinent, and significant ones we have to go by, then certain results should follow. People should flock to those countries on the basis of those freedoms he specifically mentioned. And LindyBill's assertion that the United States leads the world in tolerance and personal freedom would be proven wrong.
