Features and Bugs

A survey which calls the United States only the 22nd most "stable and prosperous" country is quite honest in one respect: Our border with Mexico is identified as a source of instability. I would add that it’s a drag on our prosperity.

But this is hilarious:

Mr Le Mière said that the US had fallen down the scale, although it still scored an average of 93 out of 100, partly because of the proliferation of small arms owned by Americans ...

That’s the sort of instability, or liberty, that I can live with. (Via Drudge.)
