2. Har-de-har-har.
Georgie never lets his presidentin' interfere with his beddie-bye time, that's for sure. Boy, that's almost as funny when he pretended to look for WMDs in the Oval Office. What a funny guy!

4. We work more hours for less pay than others in the industrialized world. Sure sumptin to be proud of
All we're demonstrating to people in other industrialized nations is that we're more docile in the face of the boss than they ever will be.

9. During an interview,
Michael Moore said that in France, the government is afraid of the people. Here in the U.S. it is the exact opposite. But why should that be - after all this is a country by the people for the people, and yet what a farce.

6. I saw Sicko this morning.
I'm sure he was thinking, "Wow, I don't even have one job!." What an asshat! Yeah, uniquely American that she has to have three jobs to survive. Meanwhile, in France, they have a 35 hour work week and if they work overtime, they get extra days added to their 5 week annual vacation. Don't get me started!

7. Geez! Let's all move to France!
Sounds good to me.

The irony is that people here are so streesed out they die sooner, have poorer diets, and need more medical attention - putting further strain on healthcare. Not to mention more psychological problems, strained marriages, etc.

Uniquely American, huh. Thrills. :eyes:

8. Exactly! Let's go!
Aside from less stress, wouldn't it be great to live some place where capitalism isn't shoved down your throat constantly. I'm so sick of trying to be sold something. It's everywhere, blasting you in the face.

10. I saw the movie, I'm willing to go to France.
We could all chip in & buy some land there & start a co-op or something.
