.....See yah, I am packing up as we speak!

Wow, didn't realize that only the low class were "real people".
As far as France goes, I thought you were in love with Portugal. That being said, France is the armpit of Europe. Why are the streets of Paris lined with trees?----because German soldiers like marching in the shade. What is the French National Military Salute?----Hands over head with rifle on ground in front of them. And I forgot the French term for "take our country but leave us alone to make our creamy sauces". This is a country that sent their ambassador to the Cameroons to lobby against the US in favor of Iraq. Ever visit Normandy and see the tens of thousands of crosses marking the grave of US servicemen who gave their lives liberating France. This is a country that should be on its knees thanking us ever day for what we did and NEVER EVER stand against us.
Pardon the rant but an uncle and a cousin died on Omaha Beach
PS: They DO have much better wine and restaurants, but their "national healthcare" is a total joke. Argue that if you want, but when was the last time you heard of a head of state or a billionaire flocking to France for medical care instead of NY or Boston????
