It seems that the American way of doing things can be completely nonsensical. WHY are we not on the metric system? Every other country in the world uses it because it makes so much more sense. 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile, etc. Wouldn't kids be able to learn the concept of distances better if all units went up in easy-to-understand powers of 10?
WHY can we vote at 18 and not drink until we're 21? Why does the driving age vary so much by state (from 15 to 15.5 to 16 to 16.5 to 17)? Europeans use 18 as the standard age to do all of those things.
Sometimes, the "American way" is just stupid...and that's not even mentioning our for-profit, market-driven, outrageously expensive, BROKEN mess of a health care system.
