In reply to: mj 's message, "My bil just sent me this -- as an American who has lived in several countries and who has OCCASIONALLY encountered SOME sniggering and/or indignation (really, not much at all -- mostly people ARE lovely), this (inside) resonated for me:" on 02:47:05 02/04/12 Sat


but in defense of the french I do have to say- we really DON'T try to teach our children any other language but english- and what we teach in schools as 'foreign' language is laughable - especially when you consider how every dutchman speaks english better than most americans

and I remember when the US bombed libya a gazillion years ago in retaliation to the bombings in European cities (I remember Paris had sealed all the public trash cans on the streets and subways) - the french government would not allow us to fly over french airspace for fear of retribution so we flew the longer route around them.

The French people threw a fit!! they were furious with their government for putting up obstacles - I guess the truth is - no matter who we elect or in what country, there's always a few idiots more than we need-
