Just because French society has different values to the US doesn't make
them "dunderheaded" either.

Call it what you will. Anyone -- French, British, or Martian -- dumb
enough
to tax avgas up to $7.50 per gallon is dunderheaded.

And that's on a *good* day.

And this instance of dunderheadedness is certainly not isolated.
