And very beautiful women! But it's very cold there, and the suicide rate is high. I have no idea really exactly which nation scores highest all around re measurable statistics. People from one country usually do not really enjoy going and living in another one, because they have bonds to the country they grew up in. I only wrote those posts because I object to people simply declaring America the best country without being internationalist enough to consider that other countries are doing a lot of things better than we are. I would hope we could learn from the fact that we have some really serious problems in America. If you are white, rich and well insured, these things probably never occurred to you, but as our good jobs disappear and health care becomes unaffordable for many, I think we should figure out how to make America better.
