From Will and Grace (my 5th favorite TV show)
"you don't have to lose to have fun. you are not France."
which reminds me of a discussion in one of the books on France I recently read, which positted that France is determined to always be runner-up, but never win. Another book said that the French prefer to have to best taste rather than produce the best of anything at all. I think the French have the best breakfast pastry.
This morning Grace Paley said on KQED (one of our local public radio stations), I paraphrase, "You can love 2 places. I don't know if you can love 2 people, but you can love 2 places." She loves rural vermont (I think it was) and New York. She loves the rural area because she loves "ecology". I don't know what makes people think that living in rural areas, where resources are wasted profligately by definition, gives a deeper connection with nature. It's kind of like beating your wife because you love her.
Of course, I love lots of people (is that not what she meant?) and 2 places.
