A view of the French opinion re: the signing of the HC law

[MindandSoul]

I try to stay in touch with the thoughts in other countries. But since I only speak French and English, I am limited to reading (on the web) newspaper articles from France, Belgium, and Britain.

Here is an interesting comment from a blogger in the newspaper "Le Monde."

I will post it in French first, then translate it to the best of my ability.

C'est une petite victoire. Le combat à venir c'est de convaincre les Américains de la classe moyenne de cesser de se haïr les uns les autres et de comprendre que avec la solidarité, l'état c'est eux.Prendre en charge le faible, le malade, c'est cela être humain. Le contraire est monstrueux


It is a small victory. The fight to come is to convince middle class Americams to stop hating each other and to understand that, with solidarity, THEY are the State. To take in charge the weak, the sick, that is being human. The contrary (not doing it) is monstruous.
