I watched a French movie today, not pornography, and realized just how much alike we are. The US is a democracy, surprise.Pres. Bush has a 29% approval rating. Unless he can pull a rabbit out of a hat this next election, the Republicans are in trouble. Europeans seem to think that the churches in the US are running this country. Nothing could be further from the truth. For example, abortion is legal foe any reason up to to time of viabilty. Abortion is the thorn in the side of the evangelicals since 1973. Also, the evangelicals are against gay rights, yet gays in this countries have all the civil rights as anyone else. Now they want gay marriage, so far only Mass. has it, but time is still going on and I’ll bet in five years gay marriage will be an accepted fact.

I am starting to book my trip to Paris and need help figuring out where to stay. This will be my first trip to Paris and I would like to stay somewhere that is centrally located to everything, everyone tells me that you can walk everywhere in Paris but I just don’t want to get stuck out in the middle of nowhere..any help would be appreciated.
Not sure if the time of year matters but we are planning on the first week of October 2006…how is the weather around that time??
Thanks for your help

MUNICH, Germany—One more time, Zinedine Zidane stepped up to the penalty spot, 12 yards from another shot at glory for himself and France.
Dripping with sweat, Zidane converted the kick in the 33rd minute after Ricardo Carvalho was whistled for a foul on Thierry Henry, giving the French a 1-0 victory over Portugal and a berth in the World Cup final.
France, which was supposed to be soccer’s over-the-hill gang, meets Italy at Berlin in a matchup of blue—France’s Les Bleus vs the Italian Azzurri.
The French will be making just their second ever appearance in a World Cup final—the other was their famous 3-0 victory at home over Brazil in 1998. Italy, trying for its fourth title, will be in its sixth final.

Her father, however, is violently opposed. We live too far away from them for the kids to hang out in person. Now that school is out, they just talk on the phone constantly! So…is the father just a typical "I don’t want my daughter to date until she’s 30!" type of dad or are there some different rules for French teenagers? (if they can drink wine and go to the beach topless, why not let them date???) Just thought I’d check! If anyone knows, please tell me!
Thanks!
