Our new French President is even worse: just out of demagogy, he once
publicly declared that making pupils study "La Princesse de Clèves" at
school (one of our most famous and beautiful pieces of classical
literature) was "pure madness and sadism"... :(

What frightens me most is that such proofs of inculture doesn't
prevent them from being elected again and again. Most people just
don't care to be governed by an ignoramus.

This makes sense actually: they don't call us criminals just for fun,
but because they have to promote a low-quality supermarket's culture
instead of the diversity and quality we stand for.
