I think we could use some improvement in the US as well. There are 58 hate groups in Florida according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Examples are the Aryan Nation and the New Black Panther Party. I wonder how those two would get along? I think a little higher goal setting and improvement would be appropriate for the US.
