Hello retard,
Just today, I had it pointed out to me that one of the major
political differences between the US and Europe is that, as a
generality, Europeans, trust the government more than corporations,
where Americans, if we trust either, it's the corporations. It stands
to reason too; the US was populated by the people who didn't like
living under European governments.
For sure. That's why the US is such a beaurocratic country: if you
don't
trust your government, you need a big layer of beaurocracy to add
additional checks.
Interestingly the lack of trust of the government doesn't occur in
other
New World countries like Australia -- it seems fairly specific to the
US.
And just to be complete, need I remind you who was running Germany's
government about 75 years ago?
I don't think that's relevant. The US lack of trust of government is
very much older than that. "The right to bear arms".
There was two point in that:
1) Europeans don't trust their government more because it's more trust worthy
(it isn't) and
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law#Corollaries_and_usage
