I don't know if this is symptomatic of Americans only. Our own Declaration of Independence said it best: ``... accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.'' Of course it was in reference to suffering the evils of too much government, but the same can be true of all things which require change. > That is why I think we still have gallons of milk instead of liters of milk.
