60. The downside to that...
is that you're in a country where newspapers have publication suspended for printing things that offend the royal family, where the powerful can videotape themselves engaging in torture and the government shrugs it off as something 'that was settled privately'; where political parties are banned; where there's institutional discrimination on the basis of ethnic and national origin...seems kind of hard to square with being a self-identified liberal, at least from here.
