Andrew Lang's is my personal favorite.

"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lampposts - for support rather than illumination."

However, try any of those statistics sites I quoted. The USA is not at the top of many of those numbers.

I like the USA, regret leaving it, but also strongly believe in it's founding principles. The freedom part being the most important. I don't like totalitarianism at all. You can have totalitarianism with a corrupt capitalist system, just like as a communist system. I would agree that the communist systems have been much worse to date.

If you want an argument with me though, I promise to give it my best try -g-
