I'm french (and I speak English at all, sorry), I participed to social demonstration in februar and march 2006.
I'm disagree with you (author of message). Why ?
Because I can't to accept politicians, who are thinking by election and use demagogic ideas, decide to me. I know what is nice for me. And politicians are far that french nation.
In philosophic term : when a guy decide for you that it's good for you, you don't exist. So, the life is an himself affirmation (i don't if it is right which formulation...

).
So, if you don't understand french mentality, it's so simply : we aren't the same culture. So don't say that french people are crazy, because it's just a different logic.
If you want to say me, contact to University of Paris 1.
