Let me tell you a short story.

We went over to South Africa for the UN’s Sustainabilty Conference in 2003. The economists were let loose to poll the shantytown residents. They asked the citizens there what they wanted most. Here’s the result:

1. Private property.

2. The rule of law - contracts.

This freaked out the eco-fascists and the poll was only published in a Brit newspaper and other obscure sources.

My thought is to trade America-hating African-Americans one-for-one with Shantytown entreprenuers.

We send afro-American haters to South Africa for all the South Africans that want to immigrate to America.

The Boers will promptly accuse us of genocide against them.

Better idea: Trade the ghetto welfarists for the Boers, twenty-for-one.

Then send the rest of them to Senegal and Sierra Leone and Liberia, to jerk those places up straight.

I believe that the single most important export of the British Empire, and the reason it's reach was wide and largely peaceable despite UK being a small country, was British common law. It is a great institution and it saddens me to see it fall into disuse in the US., while Kenya follows to some large extent the common law tradition passed on by the UK. While much of what Scalia writes is astonishingly good, he despises the common law.
