How one determines the greatest country in the world?

Is it by the amount of wealth it produces?

Is it by how fairly that wealth is shared among its citizens?

Is it by the numbers of inventions discovered by its scientists?

Is it by the longevity of its citizens?

Is it by the number of wars it has won?

Is it by measuring the happiness of its citizens?

Is it by its literacy index?

The suicide index?

The rate of homelessness?

The status of their women?

The might of its army?

The murder rate?

The rate of incarceration?

The number of its citizens that have achieved worldwide fame?

Whose cuisine is most popular in the world?

Whose sport is more popular?

Which country reject more immigrants?

Which country has the largest territory?

Which country has the bigger penis (peninsula)?

Which country has the largest vagina (bay)?

What country has the most pleasing shape, and color in a map?

....

Songwriter and musician Richard Thompson, a Muslim who came to that faith via Sufism which today's Islamic "puritans" regard as a heresy, speaks for himself, of course, below -- but "the human heart externalized" description struck me as true of pretty much all scripture if one allows for any and all aspects of "the human heart," including some particularly nasty ones touched upon in the Qur'an and the Torah, both of which prescribe taking human life (among other strange and shocking dictums) quite often and rather offhandedly:

New Age guru Deepak Chopra is in a Right Wing media shitstorm for his ("unpatriotic/unAmerican") remarks on the Mumbai attacks.

Deepak Chopra has been criticized by the scientific and the atheist community on the Left for years. The term moonbat has been used liberally by both the winnuts(creationist crackpots et al for his "secular/spiritual/anti-religious-fundamentalist" views) on the Right and the rationalist types(See PZ Myers and Orac at Scienceblogs, for his "pseudo-scientific" views) on the Left.

When it comes to his political positions, he is an ultra liberal by any standards. (May be more "liberal" than Michael Moore?) Anyway, he has been in the media limelight, during the long election campaign, on CNN enthusiastically advocating for Obama. He was a frequent guest on Fox News as well, speaking about his new book on Jesus and about Obama and the world in general. During the Mumbai attacks, he was on CNN interviewed by Larry King and other hosts, and he made some "startling" (a little too honest)remarks about America and The War on Terror.
