Approaching this topic from a different viewpoint, I think most Americans like to "Do Things Our Way!"

We currently have certain national politicians that are trying hard to copy Europeans in many ways - to what advantage I cannot fathom. We prefer our cars to trains; single family homes to large apartment projects, more space, less governmental controls, etc. On the whole, the Europeans seem "behind" us economically.

Let's keep our skeet and trap as they are. And let's not covert to metric measurements.

Having said all of the above, many Europeans are nevertheless very nice people.
