Ted, > And here I thought going to Europe would open you up to new possibilities...........

It opened up my eyes all right. Lots of good things, but also lots of not so good things. So many people who criticize America here think the grass is greener on the other side of the pond. I had to fly over there to see for myself that it's nowhere close to ideal as portrayed.

I do think we as a society can afford to walk more and drive less, though. But adopting French-style socialism would be a mistake.

Apparently French citizens think so as well, or else they wouldn't have elected Sarkozy. I got a photo of that guy going down Champs-Elysees, you know. (I thought I had said that already in one of my old posts from Europe.)
