While I don’t argue with the article, as someone who worked for a while in Singapore I have a different take: I travel extensively and it seemed to me that people in Singapore were happy, productive, going about their work and leisure. I really loved it there, but I did spend about 15 minutes reading stuff on the web about their laws before going there.

I live in the USA, and it seems like culturally we tend to think that our country is the best place in all dimensions. I love traveling and enjoying the differences in different places. I think that it is a slippery slope downwards criticizing different cultures and legal systems.
