in terms of personal liberty, in other words, the freedom to conduct one's life in the manner of one's own choosing, the French have always been at the forefront. It started with Rousseau and other likeminded philosophers, and carries on to this day. The French, in my limited experience, have far less tolerance for
aristocracies and oligarchs than even the Americans in most respects.

Yeah but they're French. You know, white flags, unused rifles and all that.
(oh and the US being free of Britain, the statue of Liberty, etc. but never mind that.)

If France hadn't helped out during your fight for freedom there wouldn't be a USA to come over to help Yurp in WW2, you'd be British, comrade.

Not too sure they should thank us for that though

If it wasn't for the Romans we would all be painting ourselves blue and living in mud huts or engaging in mild cannabalism.

How far back do you want to go ?

I think the post from a blog or FB that Fatman posted shows what modern Lybians aspire too, ie the American ideal which was great in it's time but is now more like American Idol which, as we all know, is shit.
