    George Washington et al “fought to protect” pretty early on. A hundred years before France was bringing out the guillotines. So in that sense, the US has the antiquated system, which never really adapted.

      Um… what?

      Where did I single out France or guillotines? And/or mention anything that you are stating other than Washington fighting for our rights as its own country and not under a monarchy?

      You do know that France actually HELPED us, to gain our own independence, right? I am just honestly confused on your comment. (Not mean, just wanting to know).
