Personally – one of the reasons I am happy to drive a fuel efficient car is that I have been exposed to other cultures.

Oh...OMG a world traveler!! We can learbn so much from you! You are one of elite few fortunate enough to get real life experience as opposed to we who rely on National Geographic! Bet you have your very own PC and aren't posting from the library.

I've lived in Europe and they have a wonderful standard of living.

Sure, if you have money! Tell that to the Muslims around Paris!

Europeans are also very well educated.

Indoctrinated is more like it.

"Its a quality of life issue. I've lived in Europe and they have a wonderful standard of living."

True, we can both learn from the other's experiences.

And, as I posted, on some economic factors, (for example, the EU's *trade surplus* with China, while we are rolling in red ink in our trade with China), they appear to have some measure of advantage over us.
