That is a very interesting graphic.
It rates the USA as a "Flawed Democracy" and it rates Russia as an "Authoritarian Regime", no better than China.
I think that people are so overwhelmed with everyday issues around them that these types of information are something that many don't even manage to notice, because they don't have the time to worry about others.
The world is full of places where people are living in regimes.
I personally was surprised at just how many of the former eastern block countries got an 'OK' rating, yet they are still in transition.
Absolutely. It's one of my pet peeves. I've got a good number of really intelligent friends in good jobs, some of the smartest in their fields....but they are so busy with their head down and bum up that they don't see the forest for the trees. They don't have the time or the inclination to look at the big picture stuff. So frustrating.
