Beacuse In North America we live in a CONSUMPTION -culture
and unfortunally Cosumerism destroys nature
'getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;Little we see in Nature that is ours
Consumerism cut us from nature.

I've often wondered this myself! I am an American, but I've lived abroad for a couple of years, in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. People in most of the world have much smaller homes, smaller everything, really. I think we in America feel that bigger is better. Since we have a pretty large country, we have the room to expand more than folks in Europe or other parts of the world.
Personally, I am happy to live simply, in a small home, sharing a car with my husband or taking public transportation.

glaring... with purely one ruling ability it would be a dictatorship. the comparable element might take place if conservatives in basic terms unexpectedly disappeared. the single element i can assure... inspite of political association (liberal, conservative, etc) while a ruler wields absolute ability he/she does each little thing of their ability to maintain it. that's why the perfect to disagree with the ruling ability is such an important portion of our united states's persisted existence. "on the conservative section, how approximately struggling with and defeating the united statesS.R.? with out that, none of your liberal 'accomplishments' could be in existence because of the fact we would all be below Soviet rule." i assume we are forgetting that the closest this united states ever got here to conflict with the Soviet Union became while John Kennedy (a liberal) became in workplace. magnificent, my buddy, magnificent.

I guess Americans think " the bigger the better ". Not always true though.
