Actually, the experience in France made me remember something.

Remember in the 80's how the left denigrated American tourists abroad as "ugly Americans"? They sniffed and looked down their noses at tourists who wouldn't learn the language, acted like tourists, etc.

Well, in the 90's it occured to me, these same libbers are the ones who fiercely oppose requiring English instruction for immigrants to the U.S.

So, I must conclude, it's just a hate-America thing.

I despair of understanding. It's America,It's Bush..It's the left's hatred.

I have thought that France would be a good place to vacation, except they have French attitudes there. I'll go to Ireland instead.
