French failings are like everyone's, but their virtues are their own

 








I was sitting here writing a very difficult post for you, trying to come to turns with the surfeit of security in France. I wondered why so many places have airport like security entrances, some of them patently ridiculous. 

And as I dug in it just got, what with terrorism and nationalism, racism and colonialism, it just got... deeper and deeper.


Around paragraph five I suddenly realized:

I don't get paid for this! This is a lot of work!

So I stopped. 


Yes, I would have continued if my acute and clear prescription for the situation were going followed (in short; more leftism). 


But it won't be.




So I'll just wait in line here like everyone else then.




These French people are surprisingly good at waiting.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
