I'm French and my Trip from Indiannapolis to Wash DC was excellent.
I did travel by my own in mid-west.
I did stop little villages and big cities. All of you were really nice i just saw one tag asking to boycott France on a car. Well i was afraid with Bush supporters, in red neck bars. I was going to red-neck places. it was during last election. I'm so kind of adventurous. But i decided to fight my fears and talk with them. You know what was funny, we just felt we had no differences. Is like i just knew those people for ever. They did not stones me. I even felt so kind of peace meeting me. In Cicinnatti i could go and see Bush rally, I had no invitation, but immediatly Bush supporters offered me theirs. I just regret we didn't go futher about deepper things. But it was because of times. Be also welcome in France. |

They'll whine and complain about each other all day long. And then the dinner bell rings and they all sit down together and eat. Glad you sat down at the table. "Ya'll come back soon now, ya hear". |

Well i was afraid with Bush supporters, in red neck bars. I was going to red-neck places. it was during last election. Did you try any "Freedom Fries?" They did not stones me. Ah yes, stoning. We don't do too much of that here in the USA anymore. Most people prefer 9mm caliber machine pistols to really get their point across. I even felt so kind of peace meeting me. In Cicinnatti i could go and see Bush rally, I had no invitation, but immediatly Bush supporters offered me theirs. So the Bushies were trying to get you, a tourist, into the polls as well??!! Doesn't surprise me, bunch of hypocrites. They'll rant and rave against Europe and the French, but quietly they'll court their vote. Makes a bolus of bile rise in my throat as I write this. I just regret we didn't go futher about deepper things. But it was because of times. Be also welcome in France. I love France and if this oil war goes on much longer I just might spend a couple of years there, give the middle-finger to the IRS (that's our tax collection agency here in the USA). |

Um, even if you're living in France, you still have to file an income tax return in the US. |

Um, sorry, you still have to pay US taxes. Unless of course you become a French citizen. Then you'll find out what heavy taxation really means. |

Actually, if the IRS decides that you became a french citizen to avoid paying taxes, you STILL owe them the money. |
