I think you're correct that there's an "Amish bias" at work here. I don't see that as a negative either -- I have a bit of that perspective myself. I certainly prefer a "calm countryside". Overall I'm unsure if the EU is doing good here or if it's just posturing and getting in people's way. I guess the truth is somewhere in between. There are clear advantages to the way the US handles this stuff but perhaps the EU will dodge a bullet or two. I do think it's a wholeheartedly positive thing that the US and the EU take different approaches. It would be truly awful if there were no differences in our attitudes toward technology and its adoption.
