    Whatever floats your boat. It's clearly a fundamental cultural difference. An inherent distrust of government and corporations, along with a willingness to pay to avoid issues, compared to, well, a modicum of trust in government, and an established legal framework that protects the customer from the corporation.

There was no animosity or distrust, just "here's what we both have to do".
