A little thought is a dangerous thang.
However, in the interests of PC Thought Disorder and World Peace, I am soon going to schedule some time between 2AM and 3AM to awaken, troubled, and have some unsettled feelings about what some Europeans may think of me.
It's the least I can do.

Considering that Europe is about as big as Nebraska and the two Dakotas, and has been settled for 2000 years during which time their cities were built, invaded, burned, sacked, built again, burned again...
Europe was old when the motor vehicle was developed. Motor vehicles for all intents and purposes are
time machines, allowing one to travel 200 miles in the time an ox cart would travel 10 miles.
Good survey topic for the terminally bored: How many GMI-ers worry about our Atlantic neighbors' thoughts concerning our time machines.
