> no state or country is better than another Even though I agree with the thrust of your argument, I'd just like to point out that this is provably inaccurate, depending on which quantifiable axis you're referring to as "better" (i.e., test scores, IQ, lead in the water, whatever.) But, if you're just saying "better" == "humanity", then, sure, I agree with that too.
