Thanks Mr.Horne

Reader comment on item: Reflections on the Revolution in France*
in response to reader comment: France; Marxist Paradise?

Mr. Horne, thank you so much for you kind remarks. And yes I being a native New Yorker was bemused by your remarks about our self-depreciating present day Western World. As a clever Cuban friend once said to me, "How can you get so angry at the social parasites on welfare, didn't you guys create the system?

Anyway , I can't wait until the coverage of France disappears (when the number of cars destroyed daily gets under 500 ) so that we can get back to the important national issues of the day, gay marriage, taking GOD out of the pledge of alliance, and removing the ten commandments from courthouse buildings. But there is hope; the New York employees of a major department store will be allowed to wish people a "happy Hanukah", or "Merry Christmas" this holiday season.
