I say we have nothing we can learn from the Europeans. If we have a lesson to learn we'll learn it on our own when we want and at the pace we want. I am not disparaging you specifically. Simply disenchanted with the general feeling of many that we are not different from the rest of the world, just an extension of the global oneness that many want to head into. I say, we among all others on this planet are exceptional and as such have saved others from global dominated tyranny and remain free from such tyranny because we are different and we think for ourselves.

Beaucoup d'entre nous ont ascendance européenne, beaucoup aussi récente que nos grands-parents. Beaucoup ont appris l'éthique du travail et la façon de gérer avec soin l'argent et aller à l'église et être de bons parents d'eux. Nous ne pouvons pas oublier combien nous sommes redevables à ce patrimoine. Je ne comprends pas ce négativisme du tout.
