I'm not sure why this was moved to chat, since the Michael Moore victory at Cannes is certainly current news.

Anyway, an excellent article. And it's nice to see some justice done to Generalissimo Franco, who did a good deal more for the Jews than the French ever did, but will never get credit for it.

Before the Revolution, the bloated, bizarre, degenerate aristocracy amused itself with pleasures while the masses starved. Now, with socialistic egalitarianism the rule of the day, the same tendency toward blase self-centered degeneracy has had leave to manifest itself throughout all classes.

Heaven help them when the more focussed, vital immigrant class grows to critical mass and has enough power to overwhelm them...

Accordingly, he received the longest standing ovation ever at the Cannes Festival, an spectacle bordering on collective hysteria.

I have a photo I found online from the AntiAmerican-AntiBush rally at the Cannes Film Festival (otherwise known as the Fahrenheit 911 screening).

This is the legacy of socialism. This is the famous European socialized medicine. This is France, a country that allowed their old citizens to die without family or government assistance during a heat wave last summer. It was vacation time and the old folks were left behind in their city apartments under searing heat, and their children, doctors and nurses went on vacation to enjoy and relax.
That sacred time could not be interrupted, not even to save the lives of their own parents or to claim the corpses of those who died and were placed in funeral homes and food storage buildings waiting for weeks to be claimed and buried.
A French couple might spend 200 euros for a dinner in a not very luxurious restaurant; but they will not spend 300 euros in an air conditioning unit for making their parents’ life more comfortable.
It is repugnant to hear those same people speaking with a tone of moral superiority when referring to the civil casualties during the year long war with Iraq, which has been minimal when compared to any other previous war, and much less than the old people left to died without assistance in France during a period of less than a month.
