If anyone suggested that Tiger Woods should try to be more like other golfers, people would question the sanity of whoever made that suggestion.I think an important point to consider if looking at European policies is the number of those countries reconsidering those policies.
Why should Tiger Woods try to be more like Phil Mickelson? If Tiger turned around and tried to golf left-handed, like Mickelson, he probably wouldn't be as good as Mickelson, much less as good as he is golfing the way he does right-handed.
Yet there are those who think that the United States should follow policies more like those in Europe, often with no stronger reason than the fact that Europeans follow such policies. For some Americans, it is considered chic to be like Europeans.
