How is this possible: Compared to the US, Singaporeans live longer although they have socialized medicine, and have lower murder/violent crime rates although they are not allowed to own guns. Are they further along the human evolutionary spectrum?
Their healthcare system is probably one of the most market oriented and interesting I've ever seen. They are also regarded as one of the most economically free countries in the world according to the Heritage Foundation. How ironic.
Second highest execution rate in the world, compulsory military service, and let's not forget those mobile canning patrols whacking you for littering. Are we going to pick and choose what methods made this such a grander place?
You give up a lot of freedom to live in Singapore. If that's your thing, I would suggest moving. But for all it's benefits, I prefer the freedom we have here.
