why are Americans so afraid of the European system?
#8
>>The better question is why some people are so hell bent on making Americans feel guilty about themselves and their way of life, the cars they drive, house they live in and even how they measure their weights.

Because you're destroying the earth because you won't turn down your thermostat. The world simply can't sustain a world population living like you. But you know that and probably cherish it.

If you want an actual answer to your question you'll read Collapse by Jared Diamond. The simple answer is that far too many americans would rather die than accept a superior solution labeled socialism. Sound stupid? It is. Societies have collapsed over simpler problems with clear but unpopular solutions.
