The France we knew and cared for throughout yesteryear has irrevocably
changed and I fear, gone forever. It appears the heart has stopped beating.

I wouldn't conclude that about all of France. Seems the folks of
Normandy made their feelings known recently. Like here in the States,
the problem seems to be in the media and liberal intelligentsia.

I don't think Governments can have such a big influence on economic
crisis. They are damned or lucky. Question of timing.

At first, French are much less flexible than american in matter of jobs
because they CAN be more picky. In second, it's harder to hire or fire
people in France because of the many laws that protect the employees.
This has a price: higher unemployment.

No need to apologize. The first sentence was serious. The rest were
not.

Sorry Nick. I should have made it clear that, with the exception of
the first sentence, I was being sarcastic. I meant to leave a note at
the end of the offending post but I forgot.
