In my limited knowledge about what happened, the little that I know tells me to say, congrats to the French for standing up against their "sell you down the river" president and his European cronies. The Netherlands has a chance to do the same and protect their sovereignty on Wednesday.
We tried to do about the same thing 150 years ago. It was called the US civil war. Yes it was different in that it was about certain states against other states, but the underlying principles appear to be almost identical. It was not about slavery as many who rewrite history would tell you. It's about your right to be who you are as a people, not be dictated to by outsiders and to maintain your cultural heritage.
No apologies to me Giles, I applaud your countrymen for standing up for what they believe to be best for France. VIVA LA FRANCE. Damn that sounds good for me as an american to say for a change.
