France, less favoured on the whole as to matters spiritual than her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it. Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained herself, besides, with such humane achievements as sentencing a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or sixty yards. It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway, there were growing trees, when that sufferer was put to death, already marked by the Woodman, Fate, to come down and be sawn into boards, to make a certain movable framework with a sack and a knife in it, terrible in history. It is likely enough that in the rough outhouses of some tillers of the heavy lands adjacent to Paris, there were sheltered from the weather that very day, rude carts, bespattered with rustic mire, snuffed about by pigs, and roosted in by poultry, which the Farmer, Death, had already set apart to be his tumbrils of the Revolution. But that Woodman and that Farmer, though they work unceasingly, work silently, and no one heard them as they went about with muffled tread: the rather, forasmuch as to entertain any suspicion that they were awake, was to be atheistical and traitorous.

Wow, you americans hate the french. So much to change the name of french fries to freedom fries. Thats pretty lame. You know you guys owe alot to the french, you guys have been aliies fo a very long time. They even gave to the statue of liberty as a symbol for the peace between your two nations. What are you going to do, tear down the statue of liberty because it came from france? If you americans aren't willing to do that then you should stop this nonsense and let france voice its own opinions. I mean the USA thrives on freedom of speech right? shouldn't you extended that freedom to your global neighbors?

Crossing the English Channel from the port of Dover to Calais, you will always reach France.
