Thank you for responding.

I think working too many hours is ruining the US. I work at a place that has no sick time, two weeks of vacation, and five holidays a year. The trend seems to be less time off. I think sitting down with a family to share a meal, talk about the day, and be happy is great.

French people also travel more on vacations and see more of the world and different cultures.

I hope France doesn't change too much.

I've been a victim of cortisol myself and realize what it can do.

What I don't understand is if they love their lifestyle, which I believe the do, their 35 hour work weeks, pension, month of vacation in August, time with friends and family, then why did they elect sarkozy. He stands for getting rid of all of these to pursue the American lifestyle from what I understand.

Of course, I'd be happy to trade.
