I've frequently upvoted your comments over the years, as I don't understand Portugal or its culture (didn't you use to talk about ERP systems?). I appreciate the Old World, but do not care to replicate it. As it is frequently pointed out, America is quite young. We got to "wipe the slate clean." We do not have this European "blood and soil" shit, and despite popular rhetoric, had nothing to do with the foundation of slavery. More government = less freedom, by definition. We need diversity in governance (maybe a citizenship swap?).
