My neighbor loves France and he likes to explain the greatness of this country which he said is the best place on earth . He postcards he shows me, but they have been sent by a French woman with whom he is feverishly. Whenever he receives a missive from his sweetheart he comes hit home for me to show it. I reminded that this neighbor has never set foot in France? And I asked him how he imagined this country. He sees a blue sky. With friendly people. Without strikes. Without ministers' trips sponsored by some North African countries whose presidents are hunted by the people. He sees it as a country without discrimination, where blacks and Arabs have equal rights as "French stock. So he wondered what keeps me in California instead of going to enjoy the rights that France accords to everyone. I smiled and told him that I ask myself the same question. And as I have no answer, I stay where I am. |
