As I've said before, I think one of the most important changes France should make is--amazingly--to what the US now has-- although some troglodytes, uh, I mean "conservatives" are trying to change it.

As of now, anybody born on US soil is automatically a citizen--so everybody, from birth, has a stake in the country. Nobody born here has to wait til they're 18--and find out what the flavor of the month is in the government at that point--i.e. what hoops they have to jump through to become a citizen.

And how many riots have you seen recently by people born here who do not feel they are citizens?   The last ones were in the 1960's--not last year, as in France.


OK pdq, your turn.
