While normally I would agree that just renaming food really means nothing, when you combine it with comments coming from the Mayor of NY and others in the government I can't help but feel that they are acting like a group of children who are not getting their way (this is just my opinion, not a fact, so please don't flame me). Somehow I don't think all this lambasting the French and ban this, ban that will serve to change the French gov'ts mind, so what's the point? Sorry, but I just can't get behind the government (ours or any other) bad talking a whole group of people simply because they don't agree with them. Maybe it's just because I'm a Jew who lost 1/2 the family in the Holocaust so any rhetoric like this from any government. Let me put it this way, if our government was making all these same comments, but about black people instead of French, what would your reaction be? Maybe for you it would be the same, and that's fine, just like I am (and the French are) you are entitled to your opinion. But, if your reaction would change, ask yourself why? (and maybe your justification is ok too). I'm not trying to trample on other's opinions, you are just as entitled to them as I am to mine. Just trying to make us think of things in a way we may not have

As far as the money [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] I'm SOOOOO angry they spent time and money passing a bill on this given how much the NY and federal government keep screaming about how they have so little money.
