1. Good article but more fo the same. Unless you have firsthand experience of these systems it's just hogwash and fear-mongering. I thought the US was ranked 33rd, I guess it's now at 37 though.

2. They say they do, but they don't. Seperate it, that is. Mitt Roimney learned how your religion can damage a candidacy. So did Obama, when he was falsey accused of being Muslim. Looks good on paper, this seperation, but it doesn't happen IRL.

3. ??? Still unsure where you stand on this after reading.

I agree with your last point, that we have much to learn from them, which was indeed my original point. Froberg further elaborated on more issues. America is a very young country and can sometimes be guilty of doing what most young people do, acting reckless and immature. It is no bad thing to emulate your elders especially if they have found a better way.
