I think it is safe to call the United States a backwards nation when South Africa surpasses us on civil rights.
- JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - South Africa's highest court ruled Thursday it is unconstitutional to bar gay marriage, paving the way for this country to become the first in Africa to legalize homosexual unions.
At this point it's not even hard to imagine South Africa slapping us with sanctions for human rights violations.

For a real shocker, check into just when it was that the percentage of the US population behind bars exceeded the percentage of the SA population behind bars. Hint: It wasn't this century.
