Because we're being forced to become exactly like Europe. And we're all (EU + USA) being legislated into a feifdom, or a prison cell, little by little. Every year 10,000 new laws are created in USA. Not wearing a seat belt is a crime, tomatoes that are too small are illegal. Those are two laws, from both our countries, that eventually will put you under control that no man can live under if you carry it to its conclusion.
If Europe has much larger banks, and companies, why do you have an even greater division between rich and poor? Because if Europe is as rich as claimed, there would be no need to improve society as a whole, like you claim we do not.
'
pollute and move on. But Europe is much more into sustainable development" I disagree. No-one thought much about it. Was Hilter worried about fuel economy when he built the autobahn? Hasn't Jeremy ever seen photographs of the soot raining down from the factories collecting on hanging laundry? If you look across a city like Los Angeles now, we have visible smog. But turn of the century Nottingham, you couldn't see down the street.
Just as freedom means different things to our countries, so does sustainable development. To Americans, (ok, just me really) that means surviving on your own when the massive infrastructure that has been created, comes crashing down. We are all interrconnected, there is no doubt. Ever go a week without power? We're all too dependant on the interconnected goodies government provides, built on the very empty promises and credit Jeremy blames. Even Jeremy admits that, (yet not mentioning oil) but offers the solution as yet more consolidation of power.
