Well, I mentioned moveon.org just to give an idea how far he's from "common sense" policies... in fact even moveon I don't think 'd support any of the policies the french state is engaged in but to be precise, his predecessors did just the same...

No conservatism and I'm not talking of personal views but the kind of spending spree they're engaged in and the denial they're in for the unanimously accepted fact that the Corsicans and all the others in a similar situation have rights.

It' s a strange feeling to be witnessing that sort of agression.

Then I guess, finding out how priceless is Paine, On liberty, Jefferson and others in culture without people even noticing it until confronted with their asbence is a surprise, how quickly you end up in tyranny zone without the slightest suspicion from the perpetrators to be doing the wrong.

Now how can they be satisfied with themselves is some kind of mistery. But as I write that, I'm guesssing that even that feeling of a somewhat existing duty is ignored, why should the Corsicans or anybody else be entitled to even the dearest of their soul if it's possible to impose them something more convenient? After all, why should they have something I lost, something now foreign to me? Why should they be able to enjoy something I'm unable to, I gave up on and impossible to win back? That's how the french ideology questions Rights and frankly, no matter what, the Founders writings, Stuart Mill, Burke and others are irreplaceable when it comes to what's right and wrong? It does explain too why none of the basics of these writings are in french education I guess?

Anyway, Ben has fired back, did you read?
