Let me give you a wacko reason. These countries were initially ruled by the Church which punished offenders severely and taught people to live by the rule book. The same people overthrew the Church and wrote rule books for themselves, which they continue to follow like they used to when the Church imposed its rule by force. In India a man threw some seed by the riverbank and grain and flowers grew out of them. He ate some grain, which was mixed with some pot and devloped a liberatian philosophy in which government could always be questioned. Hence we have India. The reason people do not stand in single file queues in India is because some moron idiotically defined "queue" as a single file line with a strict order of who comes forst and who came later. This is unantural. Watch a herd of cows at a gate and you will se that they form a pyramidal queue in whcih hierarchy is mainatined approximately, but not in a rigid, dictatorial, Swedish style. Indians, in true "natural" style herd up like cows in the true, natural definition of "queue" shiv
