[paulsby]

fwiw, i don't eat processed fat
smoking disgusts me with every fiber of my soul
i drive a BMW
i drink only occasionally. never more than two drinks at a time. i'm an athlete. it's not compatible to drink more than that
i have 17 days of sick time a year
i have 20 days of vacation a year plus holiday time
my job offers maternity leave as well as leave for fathers
nobody at my job shuns me for not being a work-a-holic. some people work 30 - 40 hrs OT a week. i work a bout 4 hrs a month
i have access to a PHENOMENAL health care plan. my employee pays 100%. i get massage, chiro, etc.
i also have MUCH cheaper gas
much more freedom of speech
cheaper food (its not even close, on a %age of disposable income basis)
the right to keep and bear arms
i love france. great surf. but i'll stay in the USA , thanks
