#5 From what the Chinese say, they make good passenger trains. Not that Amtrack could make a profit with them anyway...

#6 Why would anyone in their right minds want france?

Because once you have shot a number of pseudo-intellectuals, makers of bad movies, leftists, corrupt politcians and you have brainunwashed the rest for say thirty years then you could get a number of nice people. Then add a Second Amendment to the French Constitution, shake another twenty years and they would make passable Americans who, in addition, can cook. Then you will able to add another star to that flag of yours :-)

Seriously, perhaps because I don't make misteries of my sympathies but I have found a surprising number of pro-american people. My guess is that the intense pressure to anti-american hate from the media has made very politically uncorrect to say you are a pro-american in France (professional statisticians are familiar with the phenomenon of people not daring to tell their opinions to pollster when they are politically uncorrect).

#8 JFM - Two of my buddies have checked out the Tour de France over the past five or six years, primarily the Alps / Pyrenees (sp) stages. Both of them tell me what great people those French are, regardless of how bad you / can't speak French, and how much those French cannot fucking stand the Parisian French. I think 'world's biggest assholes' was the charge du jour...
