Liberté, égalité, fraternité

Happy Bastille Day Motherfuckers!    Go find someone in the aristocracy and behead them.   Barring that you might consider looking at the DMV, a WWE event or Sarah Palin rally (same thing really).   Still no luck.   Ok, well then you might want to consider working more than 30 hours a week, having less than an average paid vacation days of 37 days (2nd highest in the world)  or working more than 1380 days (as opposed to the US 1777- a 9 week delta, 4 if you subtract the paid vacation days).   

But the fact of the matter is that none of that really matters.  

We are more alike than we are different.  We have MANY similar problems (emigration, trade, welfare, partisan BS) and the longer we exist, the more our identity will be challenged by the forces that act on our country. 

Good luck France.   We will all need it.
