  1. Letting the GINI out of the bottle again, eh? So you've been to this transplendently egalitarian country. Is it paradise on ice? A little koan: If you cite one statistic in a vacuum, is it significant? What about unemployment, alcoholism, suicide, STD pervalence, energy expended per unit of economic output, patent applications per annum? Sorry to be rubbing the lamp so hard on this one, but sometimes the gilt comes off in your hands.
