    What is unique to the US is their civic religion with the saints of the founding fathers and the reverence of the documents themselves. Most modern countries rewrite their constitutions but the US is stuck with theirs because they worship it.

    Many other governments have a better structure, but that isn’t the point of what I wrote. Maybe the US Americans can write something new that is even incrementally better and it would be a positive. I was raised in the US but have left it behind.

        I do not think things are better in Europe. I would never look to Europe or Europeans for inspiration. I would not be welcome in Europe. Not sure why everyone assumes this from my comments. Just because something is bad doesn’t mean that there is something better that currently exists. Describing a problem is the first step to a solution, it isn’t simply to imply that somewhere else has it better. Especially because the USA goes out of its way to destroy any alternative to itself and its system with a huge monopoly of violence and nuclear weapons.
