"France can not be France without greatness ..." Why I like
- is it a way of warning? One possible interpretation is: if we do not show greatness, then we may not be less than nothing (that version pretentious, all or nothing: if we are not the best, we're the worst, we must always be first somewhere, better to be below any being whatsoever ...) can not be less than nothing but in any case below the average. Schématisons broadly: to our best we are much more interesting than the Swedes and other Scandinavians quiet, peaceful, well organized and still slightly boring, without greatness, we are below them.
De Gaulle was clearly aware, sometimes as a form of schizophrenia, the difference there might be between his famous "Some idea" of what France and the French were capable of pettiness in fact, unnecessary bitching, fatalistic masochism, sadism superfluous ("Unforgiven [s] through vanity," the word Custine ; ruthless as vis- -vis their own way). This is why the interpretation I suggest you now seems more interesting than the chauvinistic vision ("France is large petrol ...") that this sentence can easily suggest.
And, of course, with its innate, almost admirable, what is worst in us, N. Sarkozy has been working for years to retire to France what could he stay of magnitude, so is its mission well known, it is no longer France. I said the other day that the worst with him was not his incompetence in economic matters or even his demagoguery safe. The crisis, the real, the one with which I was born to bowl since my early 70's is one thing, I am far from contesting or underestimate the severity. But first, it has been years (the consequences of 1983, "Long live the crisis," etc.). That those who suffer from this crisis are being spit on with remarkable tenacity by those who profit on the other hand and now, with NS, which is a level crossing importance compared to its two immediate predecessors, that "some image" of France on which you spit (spit and made by other countries) permanently. Population has the right to whip in the house, and must now see that the neighbors are said house increasingly ugly as he knows, even idealizing a bit, he came to be beautiful and admired . Not be surprised if a tad depressing ... It accuses him yet, as further proof of its invalidity, as yet another confirmation that he does not deserve to be anywhere other than his place of shit.
France has experienced periods of poverty, even poverty, she has always emerged at one time or another. Moments of ridiculous (and, let's just, "English gentlemen shoot first" Mexican adventures of Napoleon III, Guy Mollet, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, etc.., NS is not the first of the series) its great defeats, all by cons remain in the collective memory, and will remain there for long. Nicolas Sarkozy is a big more weight in the column "Flow" - which adds a nice poo the bottom of the slip, we will write history of being a poet, and which, as rightly says the poet , "all the water of the sea" will never erase the memory really. - Fortunately, DSK is coming!
