Some people in my e-mail correspondence have made oblique noises about moving to France to get away from the fascist nightmare that America has become. Surely, they say, things would be better in Europe. They'd go as part of a tour group or something, then sidle off behind the Eiffel Tower. And then they'd spend the rest of their days as wandering minstrels singing for their supper to the patrons of dimly lit, leather-clad coffeehouses. Whatever their final lot, surely it'd be an improvement over Bush's Reich.
I wonder if I could convince any of them to read this heartfelt essay by Nidra Poller, before they board that plane. Particularly if they're Jewish.
If their perspective isn't changed by it, then maybe the jetway is the right direction for them anyway.
