Have to admit nothing in that list is a surprise although China and India appearing so high on the list is interesting.

I'm surprised China was so low on the list.

Ok, um, what does this thing list? Human rights, border security, quality of schooling?


Please note that 98% of what I say is my opinion and/or my "version" of the facts. Most of what I say is rumor with little to no evidence to back it up, just something I picked up somewhere.

If its Human rights, why are Poland and the Czech Republic not listed? At a pinch, I would also include the UK, with the remarks Blair made about a European constitution.
