Yeah in France the Government is (rightfully) afraid of the people who elected them.
In America the people are afraid of the Government, hence we keep taking whatever draconian laws they throw at us.

France may not be perfect, but we could learn a lot from that. Unfortunately being Americans we certainly won't because we are the best at everything. Rolling Eyes
