I vote for C on that poll, but with A contributing strongly and B also having an influence.

[El Sordo]

So I guess we win.....

For what it is worth.....

Wikipedia seems to have more on the matter.

Dagnabit. You went and made me look something up.

Though I think they may be ahead of us in cars.....

[secretagent]

They might beat us on cars, but we have the numbers on killed and injured - 50 to 60 in LA according to your Wikipedia article.

Plus it only lasted 4 days.

That is an interesting connection. Iraqi constitution/ nothing in France for them.

[theDentist]

French pretensions lie singed and shriveled.

Ow, that's gotta smart!

[Bon mots]

                   Zut Alors! My Citroën!!

(1) Didn't the Rodney King riot damage vastly exceed the French riot damage?

If this is true, it just means Americans are more effective at what we do.

[secretagent]

Yes!

[El Sordo]

I blame the French work ethic.

They take three times as long and still don't get as much done.

[El Sordo]

I would like the record to show that I thought of the same joke all on my own.
