We never had a dictator to set that stuff up for us, yes. :-)

Yes, very much. We have a long history of not trusting our government. Our 
revolution is still young enough to be alive and well, especially given that 
the founders of the country didn't trust the very government they were 
setting up.  I think many here look at individual conveniences (such as only 
having one place where you need to change your address) as much less 
important than the slim likelihood that something disastrous (such as 
rounding up all the <ethnic>s) will happen. (Note: I'm not saying this is 
right, logical, reasonable, etc. I'm just saying how it is. :-)
