Have you ever been the victim of a con? Let me tell you about my experience in France. My husband and I took the late-night Chunnel, the undersea train that goes from London to Paris. Tired after a day of sightseeing, we were anxious to get our money changed from British pounds to Euros and head to our hotel.

There was no one else around the terminal when we arrived at the glass-enclosed exchange booth.

Poor lede, poor hook, poor job at comparing THAT to her main point. So yeah, shaking my head.

Stopped reading RIGHT THERE. I have never been to France, and sure won't go to that Prog-Muslim disaster-in-the-making now. No interest whatsoever.
