Fingers are crossed for Europe!!!

Just when the day's news threatened to be dull and 100% miserable -- apparently France's citizens are starting to go a bit sour on the EU, which would - *gasp* - lead to a collapse of the group, so good old Jacques Chirac is trying to convince them it's still a good idea.

I'm liking the French people more and the French gouvernement less all the time -- my impression is that the people are too decent and smart for their leaders to be doing all the yapping.

Go, Citizens, go!
