bart - I won't label you as anti-american but please do not bring environmental issues into this, if you just look at that there are limitless slants you can put on it. I put a very negative slant on it towards the EU for CO2 output for the sake of defending the US in an argument on another forum I'm a member of. Many people look purely at energy consumption and not the productivity that comes from it. While our methods over here may not be the most efficient they are the most cost effective and until there is an extreme demand otherwise that will not change. Well its 4:47 am and I've been drinking all night so I don't want to continue further and make any more of an ass out of myself. Point is that you can argue contributions to the world just as well as you can consumption of the world.
as far as my view on europe - I've never been over there, I'd like to go sometime, and I have many good friends I have met online that live in various countries over there. Met them all on techspot.com and got to know them either as fellow moderators or as friends in our irc channel.
