Yep, I know. France is a bit of a blip. I tend not to think of them as a
European country, but a dictatorship that got lost... That's more dealing
with their colonial record however. T

Don't worry. I've been flamed so much in the past seven years it takes
a lot to actually offend/annoy me.

Heh. Here I have to disagree with you. I have nothing against
particular races or nationalities (at least not that I'm aware of, or
ready to delve into on a Srun list), but it is my personal beleif that the
american government, and most things that they do are Evil. No offense.
And of course, I'm not saying that any other government is better or
anything... =)
