I'll assume that this author is not writing a tongue-in-cheek story. I won't attack his premise that France is so much better that we are only because I don't want to start anything here. I only wonder if he would go along with another aspect of the paradise that French society is--that being that they will soon produce over 75% of their electricity with nuclear power? (I would be for it. I'd bet that he would be against it. Another journalist who will be eager to put this country down but provide no solutions.)
