LOL. I have to give you an "A" for effort, Harry.

The US is far from being in the "dumper" and your claim is a bit
misleading. According to the UN Human Development Index (HDI), the US
hasn't led or come close to leading the list since at least 1980 but it's
ranking is still up there with little mathematical score difference
between it and the top of the list. It is interesting that the countries
that have led the list over the years tend to be more socialistic in their
government.

Nice try, though. :-)

What's even more interesting is that, you being the exception (I think),
most of the people here who depict socialism to be evil have absolutely no
idea what it really is. At least it's entertaining to witness the ideas they
pull outta their asses. :-)
