Top ten plus ties from freedomhouse.org

Finland, Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, Netherlands, Uruguay, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Denmark and Belgium

All have pretty fair amount of socialism...


Hate when facts get in the way of their fascism

vibrant free market economies. A better social safety net is not socialism. The better term is social democracy, which is not socialism.

Essential Meaning of socialism
: a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies

That 3.14159265.... stuff is incompatible with democracy as well.

Mathematicians admit it themselves; the say the number is irrational.

On Feb. 6, 1897, Indiana's state representatives voted to declare 3.2 the legal value of pi. The bill wasn't actually about legislating a rounded value of pi; it was even more ambitious than that. Bill 246 was a bold attempt to attack an ancient mathematical conundrum with the modern blunt force of legislative fiat.

But I think this new bill would prevent that fact from being taught in history classes today.
why didn't they round it to 3.15?
Maybe Hoosiers should take a good look at the shape of our capitol rotunda?
