Something seems a little off there, but who knows. Damn I don't even want to know what the other countries are like if we are just 19 .-. The top ones make sense though, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, NZ. Singapore seems a bit iffy to be #5, their government doesn't allow full freedom of speech really.

Yes, but it's funny how the one can tend to go up while the other goes down.
