First of all, I am French so I have a right to meddle. Secondly, merde, merde, merde. France rejects the European Constitution (from Gaping Void strangely enough) and people start talking about the downfall of the European Union. People are sure quick to hit it when it's down forgetting that countries that were invading each other only 60 years ago now have open borders because of it. While listening to the BBC I heard interesting views about why people had voted no, one of them was "we don't want Europe to turn into the USA" -- one has to congratulate the "non" movement for a tremendously succesfull bit of marketing. "Fear of change" remains all powerful. No more politics for a while... What should I write about next? Something light maybe? Genetically modified crops, stem cell research or possibly software patents... Or I might just stick to posting about drinking.
