'attitude' and 'policies'.

Very true. And I think the French do it very well. The Germans and the Brits tend to connect the too much more. It's a difference in the way they treat individual rights. You really don't have many in France if the Government wants to get you.

<<The result is what one might call attitude inflation, which in turn arises from the de-linking of attitude from policy. That is, if you don't actually have to do something about your attitudes you're likelier to have more of them, and they are bound to be both more extravagant and more unrealistic. >>
