Funny comic on the Comedy channel the other night. He was mentioning his experiences in Amsterdam, and then said, "What's the big deal about American Freedom? In America if you want to do some dope, have an abortion or marry your gay lover, you are out of luck. In Amsterdam, you not only can do those things, you can probably accomplish them all in the same building!"

In heath care costs only. In all other categories, like prison population and infant mortality we're not so good. :(
