RE: Freedom is Watching Your Step
I agree that travel reveals to you the different types of freedom different nations enjoy and the different types of tyrannies they confront. I don't agree that there is little value in saying which countries are more and less free. I just think you have to pick barometers, and you do a good job of that in this post. One point of curiosity: have you interviewed Mexican vendors about cartel extortion? I am interesting in finding out how prevalent it is.
I haven't interviewed any directly, but I have made some observations and heard a few stories on my three visits to Acapulco that lead me to believe cartel extortion is prevalent.
