That is exactly what I was saying.
What works there won't necessary work here.
What works here won't work there.
But my comparison of the US to the EU is far more valid than to compare
any individual EU state to the US.
Granted that our differences are small compared to those of Europe, much more difficult to obtain a consensuses there than here.
I also agree that we should keep our big noses out of your business.
I'm not arguing the strengths or weakness of either system, just I find it hard to hear all the USA bashing that goes on here and very seldom hear us bashing the EU or it's member countries.
