    I heard that a socialist law forces bakers to make it fresh each day. What a waste of energy for oddities like health and taste!

    Was she going for a vacation, or to visit a different mall?

    In effect France is restricting the advancement of their culture.

    Yeah! Caring about product quality when it comes to phones, that's perfectly normal. But for... food??? What a joke. Come on, the cheapest= the best :)))

    If they would give it to those that create equally, maybe not such a bad idea. The problem is they give it to an entity that gives it out to n'importe qui qui sont leurs amis!

    I don't know that its "un-american", but it it certainly doesn't pass muster as being constitutional. When did the government get in the business of taking money from its people to support the arts, and what gives them that authority? I'm pretty sure the enumerated powers do not include finger-painting enforcement.
