>>Perhaps you are unfamiliar with such things, Monsieur Ingrand, but here in the
>>United States we like to take care of our own.

As an American currently living in Europe, I find statements such as this
almost painfully embarrassing.  When one compares the health care system in
Europe, the support for housewifes and children, and so on and on to the
social programs in the United States, it is sadly all to clear how poor a 
job America does of ``taking care of its own''.
