You wound me. ;->

But the US system is even more dumb; it has all these horrible kludges to cope with the fact that in the Olden Days, you had to go everywhere by horse or foot, and it took ages. And the dudes that could fix it are the incumbents, so there's zero incentive for them to fix it.

Nicely put! That is indeed a fair summation.
