It's "C'est la vie" - and if you think that, you don't know the French
well at all. They are famous for shutting down the country if they don't
get what they want. French people generally are also fairly left-wing;
they aren't US Republicans.

I only feel bad for the common men who gaze skyward, fruitlessly. What
a
shame.

Generally, they don't. They just fly planes that burn less fuel.

Could you provide some numbers to support that cliam? I mean, what
percentage of the populous are pilots?, that sort of thing?


Why must so many threads in this NG turn into vitriolic political rants?


Like the "foreigners" that whine that their gas is so expensive (hey,
they're all democracies), but they are so much better than the US?
