PARIS, France (AP) -- The death toll in France from August's blistering heat
wave was nearly 15,000, according to a government report released Thursday
that exceeded prior official estimates by 3,000 victims.

It must not be forgotten the health of French nation has considerable
improved since August. The undoubted evidence for this is a much reduced
death rate amongst the elderly which will last for several years.
The same sort of statistics apply to other countries which suffered from the
heatwave but didn't bother to publish them, ie., for political reasons they
kept it secret.
The French government should be congratulated on its honesty as it should be
on other matters of international interest and importance.
Vive la France ! Vive l'Europe !

Well, I'm sure you'll get some flames on that comment, but it sure is nice
to hear some honesty once in a while. I've read comments carried in news
organizations some years ago. A number of Europeans were appalled by the
number of homeless in the United States. Oh, some of the "conservatives"
have broadcast a lot of hot air and some folks will call anyone disagreeing
with their position "card - carrying - liberals", but the fact is there has
to be some reasonable compromise to keep as many folks happy as possible.
Also, it is necessary for any civilized nation to provide some level of
support for those citizens unable to take care of themselves. Mind me, I am
not saying that we are or are not doing that toady. However, it is
fortunate that we have a very powerful weapon here. It is called the vote.
If enough folks get upset, it will show despite the 30 second sound bites
and handshaking LOL :)

Many if not all of the agreements are from Americans.
The thread has a very "We and them" nature to it.
Is this typical of American feeling?
I think the general view of America and Americans by many non-Americans is
that of a nation full of (or least run by) selfish, arrogant people. I
wonder why?
(I am not the type of person to cast judgement on an entire nation by my
experiences of a few from that nation - this is the general feeling I have
picked up from others)
