You didn't know? Your media didn't report that election? (Hint: the New York Times -- the only US paper I've checked so far reported it. I bet some other papers, and some TV channels, did too... .) _____ No I didn't. I knew Le Pen was an extremist, but didn't know the other details. That's a virtue of this list. People know things that one doesn't yet know. By reading their posts and reactions, one is exposed to new issues, ideas, trends, etc. Personally, I'm in favor of learning new things. So I thank you for the hint. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
