French kiss in question?

Will the recent French election change what we have so long considered the holy grail of eating, drinking, and love making? Hereś an interesting article. It is not a mystery that the French have a better health care, child care, public transport, and many other things compared to US and UK. The stats skillfully inserted at the bottom of the article says it all. What happens to France will be interesting. In these days, I am not sure whether any political party has the horse power in any democracy to make such lofty cultural changes. Regardless, the most prominent aspect of these elections were how little the French care for ¨picture perfect¨ family portraits of their leaders. Sego Royal was unmarried with 4 kids. Sarkozy has an unhappy marriage. The bottom line - it does not matter, where national policy is concerned. May be thereś something for us in America to ponder about.
