Answering Your Letters
Dear ChrisMagazine~
Do you have a message for the French today as they celebrate Bastille
Day??
Merci!

Dear Jug
Yeah, nice job on Bastille Day French people. Way to celebrate the meaningless opening of a prison that held no one enroute to a revolution that, while it ousted your royals, later paved the way for an Emperor. Of course more recently you've done a tremendous job of being run over by your enemies. And hey, let's start a Maginot Line Day. It was just as important as the Bastille bustout. I mean, brilliant idea to build a wall blocking the Germans from entering along their border...Who could have imagined them going through Belgium like that? Seriously, who goes through Belgium? Oh, that's right... The Germans. Even more recently you've received a great deal of flack for opposing the war in Iraq. As the Dixie Chicks learned, that's what you get for thinking for yourself. Hopefully you learned your lesson when we changed the name of French Fries (or pomme frits or something like that) to Patriot Fries. I can tell that between that and the protests against French's mustard really hit home in Paris. Sure, you can point out that French Fries originated in Belgium, but we won't listen. We don't have to. We're bigger than you. Happy Bastille Day.
