nice, interactive website, where I could track these scores over time, where I could, for example, ignore the Heritage results and weight the Fraser ones higher, and so on.

I expected all of the countries ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth, to outperform the U.S. In fact, I was very confident that Australia and the Netherlands would whoop the U.S. when it comes to freedom.
