Last time I went to France, I spoke to the waiter in French...he pretended not to understand and then stepped away and made fun of the stupid American to another waiter in German (which I also understood), so I spoke in English which he still pretended not to understand...and continued insulting Americans in German. Next I spoke to him in German.....He no longer thought he was so funny and understood me perfectly. I drove back to Germany and kept my money. I hope he lost his job.

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money"
Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
