Vive la France
Most mornings, straight after breakfast, I make sure to read a few articles on the web...favoring the British newspapers more these days. Things seem to be moving so quickly in the political world at the moment that if I even miss out on a day's reading I feel like I don't know whats going on anymore. But since I had the cold for a few days I was barely in the mood to keep up with the news, until this morning. And I personally don't know what to think of my country anymore, nor our government. Freedom fries? Oh of course. And now they want our dead soldiers back from France? I don't know whether to laugh at all of this or to take them seriously...actually, I don't think I can take anything they say anymore as seriously. So what's next? Are they going to send back Liberty? She's French after all.
I don't know. I've been to France quite a few times and I have to say it's one of my most favorite places in the world and at the moment I am not liking all this anti-French attitude that most Americans seem to have. I thought we were meant to respect that people have different opinions and respect their right to free speech. I mean, we live in a democratic western world...don't we? I'm beginning to wonder.
Sorry to ramble on about politics. I'm sure you all have it shoved in your faces as it is. I just needed to vent.
