    Well the murder rate in South Africa has halved since the end of Apartheid. South Africa also gave up its Nukes and the country is no longer a pariah state among western democracies.

    A lot better than it was before. I was there last month. The people are super friendly as long as I don’t mention the fact I am american.

    Only thing that bothers me, is the way they are trading heavily with China.
