Speaking as a US citizen and voter, despite my Quebecois name, it's our job
to make sure that our government doesn't foist this system on the rest of
the world.
I actually wouldn't mind it being a US-vs-Everyone thing, as sometimes
that's what it takes to demonstrate that we don't always lead the world.
(We already have measurement systems to demonstrate that, of course.)
