Thank you, Maxime, for your most recent observation in which you lamented the passing of the great figures of France’s illustrious past.

For each of them that are gone, there are now a dozen more, waiting today to create, and to be heard. Often they are like you, born abroad and emigrated to France. They feel more intensely perhaps what a privilege it is to be in such a rich cultural environment, they feel a special energy that may be lacking in the native born.

On a train to Marseilles a few years ago, on the TGV, I was given a berth in a tiny room filled with African men, all migrant farm workers. We spent the night talking, (they shared their food with me) and one man showed me a notebook in which he was keeping a journal. It was a mixture of homesickness and humor, and though his spelling was poor, as a teacher I recognized at once that he was unmistakably gifted.

Bright people are everywhere. If you could only get rid of the « parti » and let people think for themselves, the bright ones will come forth.But the militancy of the ’parti’ is suffocating individuality.

(By the way, your contributors,( such as Marc )who mistakenly attack me for « globalization » or for the politics of the USA ,are launching an underhanded attack.They are extremely simple-minded if they think all Americans support or even understand globalization. I may live here, but I do not pretend to defend all the nation’s complicated politics and economy, so, please, I hope they will address ideas, and not attack me personally ( ad hominum),because I happen to be American.We have here all the same social problems that exist everywhere.
