kerouc, you can wiggle all you want, but facts are facts, france is in a decline and it might get much worse under royal.

So, you think people should be allowed to torch cars for fun and not be locked up? I'll ask you again when houses and apartment buildings start going up in flames.

too much testosterone here i fear. another reason to vote Royal!

[though Maggie does rather counter that argument!]

yours in peace, ann

Royal does dress well and looks pretty good for her age. But who would look after the children while she was off playing with the men?

Not wiggling at all, NorthShore. I do not follow the same analyses of the French situation as you do, and have not seen a decline at all in France. I have seen unemployment problems and a lack of influence in the EU after the rejection of the constitutional referendum, but by and large the situation is not very different from the rest of the Western world. But I don't expect anybody who just counts money and not the quality of life to agree with me.

I bet all those angry arab youths would love to have more money and more "quality" in thier lives.

North Shore - Remarks don't get a lot more sexist than that. You should be ashamed of yourself - dare say, your mother would be.
When a person resorts to ad hominem argument, it is a good indication that they have nothing more important to say.
