To truly boycott France (double post)

I make no secret of the fact that I am a francophile. With the idea that I love their culture, I also remember that FRANCE IS A SOVEREIGN NATION AND UNDER NO COMPULSION TO DO ANYTHING THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO. Thus, I become very annoyed when I see people with the "Boycott France" bumper sticker. As a community service, I would like to offer up a list of ways to truly limit France's influence on the United States.

1. Invite Great Britain back. After all, a French general assisted us in the Revolutionary War. We should have done it ourselves.

2. Remove all words from your vocabulary with French origins. This includes word like beaucoup (often mispronounced as "boo-coo"), bouquet, anniversary (from anniversaire), journal, a la mode and many others.

3. Don't eat Dannon or Yoplait yogurt. Both are made in France and exported.

4. Return the Statue of Liberty. A French engineer designed it and the French government gave it to us.

5. Rename all the cities and states with French names. Louisiana, St. Louis, Des Moines, New Orleans... the list goes on and on.

6. Return the central portion of the US to France. We bought it from them to finance one of Napolean's wars.

I hope this helps.
