The US is a nice place to live, but...

• Nearly five thousand wrongful felony convictions occur each year from mistakes in fingerprint analysis.
• The U.S. tort system imposes an implicit tax burden to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
• Eminent domain abuse results in thousands of properties being taken each year.
• There are 2.3 million people behind bars and another 5.1 million on parole or probation in America, by far the highest incarceration rate in the world, outpacing all other developed nations by several fold.
