Hi Marco,
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about America's relative infatuation with
individualism and freedom. Related to this is a distrust of government.
Your tongue in cheek crack that our right to bear arms doesn't mean much in a
modern military sense is of course correct, but it just shows how deep our
distrust goes. At the risk of grossly oversimplifying, we believe more in
the individual and in the individual's freedom to pursue what they desire as
opposed to the collective.

PS -- Of course there are tons of economic liberals and personal
conservatives here too. Perhaps our cultures just BALANCE differently.
