One more time: is Somalia a good example *right now* or not? We can even assume that the article is accurate, as long as you allow everyone else to quote the 38757823785789279832 equally accurate articles that show how much of a hellhole the place is.

Not so, see my other post.
Somalia may be a good example of how less government makes a place better. It is not a good example of how good a place can become with less government.

When non-ACists make people choose between living in Somalia vs. living in the USA as an example of how things are working, its like asking if you would rather be crippled and have a hot wife vs. having all your physical functionality and having an ugly wife.
Almost all people will chose having the ugly wife, but this in no way is an endorsement of having a preference for ugly women. It just means that other variables outweigh it.
I would rather live in Somalia than many other craphole African countries that have other similarities. But no way I would live there over the USA.
