I think it is tedious, silly and fatuous to even consider that the level of a countries "First Amendmentness" could be measured by an objective standard, and then ranked relative to all the others.

Just a real dumb idea. Kind of like ranking who the sexiest people are, etc...

An idiot test, if you will. To see who is dumb enough to buy into the notion.

What's really interesting in these situations is what happens to the person that is intelligent enough to see through cr*p like this, and brave enough to actually say something.
