That and America should have a state funded, independent news organization similar to the BBC. It's not perfect, BBC has had some nasty prat falls but, like a supreme court, also not perfect, it's the best you can do. So when ci

Uruguay and Chile have been surprisingly solid for a few decades (not withstanding Chile's recent riots, which are resulting a new constitution). Argentina can usefully be thought of as a country with first world commerce and third wo
