read an interview with the military historian antony beevor: author of "stalingrad" and "berlin: the downfall 1945". during his researches into a new book on the allied invasion of normandy he found an interview with the wife of the mayor of montebourg. according to her "the americans destroyed everything, the invasion was the start of our miseries and life was much better under the germans". it's amazing how little things have changed.
i remember when feminist groups used to hand out "yes means yes, no means no" anti-rape material. maybe someone should do the same for the european union? how many times do member states have to vote "no" before the brussels realises it doesn't have consent?

l'enfer, before you start throwing rocks, this isn't a comment on you.
haha! i wasn't even going to throw rocks actually.
the only thing that did pass my mind was that
"yes means yes, no means no"
is not even true.
good point, when?
