Civilization.

Bah,  humbug.  We invented champagne, for heaven's sake!  Haute
cuisine?  Nothing more than pouring sauce over meat to hide the
fact it's gone off.  You do make a decent drop of wine, I'll
grant you that ... with grapes from vines imported from America.
Cheese?  England has more varieties!  Your greatest achievement
in carmaking?  The 2CV!  Military?  You fight land wars in Asia
and build walls that stop at the Belgian border.  You offer
Voltaire and Rousseau, I give you Hobbes and Smith ... and Newton
and Darwin as a bonus.  Moliere and Racine don't stand a chance
against Shakespeare.  Our colonies turned into successful
countries, yours .... Algeria, Vietnam?  Oh dear...


"We" have Mondavi wines, Al Sharpton philosophy, NASCAR,
AMTRAK, .....er....I better sit this one out.
