The better country
America is a better country than India is. Or ever will be. The reason, unlike what Atanu Dey wants you to to believe, is not its Constitution; rather, its judges.
It’s true that many Web sites, including Mr. Dylan’s official one, reproduce the lyric as Chief Justice Roberts does. But a more careful Dylanist might have consulted his iPod. “It was almost certainly the clerks who provided the citation,” Professor Long said. “I suppose their use of the Internet to check the lyrics violates one of the first rules they learned when they were all on law review: when quoting, always check the quote with the original source, not someone else’s characterization of what the source said.”

India is always a better country and freer too. I am not eloquent enough to put my reasoning in words, but can provide an example. You could run a red light while driving in India and go free either by bribing the policeman or by paying some arbit fine in court, do the same in US and you have to carry the points for two years or so. I wonder if “prisoner’s dilemma” is a term to be used here.
