I don't have too much data to compare and contrast, but it [America] does rank pretty high for me in one category: <blockquote>the society in general does not poke its nose in your business. if it cannot help you in what you are trying to achieve, it stays away; it does not go out of its way to stop you from doing what you plan on doing.</blockquote> Guess there cannot be a numerical score that one can associate for such things but that's my $0.02! Dave,
