Who said you did, and I'm very glad that our calendars are on the same
wavelength. That way we can both agree that this is the year 2005.

I was in Menton in 1960 and remember the same thing. I had a (Dutch)
great-uncle (my mom's uncle) who lived there and my mom and I visited
him. I was on leave from the U.S. Air Force. I liked the area of
Menton. Unfortunately we had bad weather (in summer, which is unusual).
It rained continuously for the week we were there. But I have
especially fond memories of a 1955 (I was 17 years old) hitch-hiking
trip I took with a friend of mine (starting in the Netherlands). When
we reached Paris, we were lucky to get a ride all the way to the
Riviera, in a Citroen "deux cheveaux" A.K.A. "ugly duckling" and we
wound up at nearby Agay, where we camped for a week. We snorkled every
day and lived very simply (we were on a very, very low budget), and had
a marvelous time. The water was clear, with many fish I had never seen
before, and the surroundings were beautiful. Is it still the same now?

Why, for heaven's sake, would I lie about that? It's on the Internet. I
read the main passages and in my opinion it stinks. I'm with the
majority opinions of the French and the Dutch. Do you have anymore
'constructive' criticisms? Or are you some leftist slob who would
rather have individual rights taken away? I've made my nationality
clear. What's yours?

Exceptional in the summer but the mountains behind this part of the
Cote d'Azur collect clouds and I can see it happening!
Menton always had a lot of foreigners, many British and a lot
of the old hotels (Winter Palace etc) now converted to apartments
had English names. We first went in 1963 (and later) and in the 60s
there were still a number of old Brits who served in WWII, we
met Dennis Rake, who as the radio operator for Nancy Wake,
an Australian woman who ran the resistance in the Avergne
(ran it on the basis she controlled the parachutages from
England, the French male resistance leaders did not appreciate
her control at the beginning). Anyway, this old set of Brits
spent their later years drinking gin and tonics in Menton. They
were all gone by the mid-70s. The old cemetery has a lot
of British buried there, it was once considered a place
to go for tuberculosis, Later people headed for the Alps,
the Magic Mountain of Davos became the place to go.
Menton is now mainly filled by Italians in the summer. They tried
to seize the area in 1940 but their armed forces could only
push into France a few kilometers. The Germans gave them
the area over to Nice to manage for a while.

At one time the Dutch had the reputation of being the cheapest tourists
that came to France. I remember in an article in France Soir in the
early 70s of a list of money spent according to nationality. The
Americans at that time were tops, maybe averaging $50/day n-years ago.
The Japanese had not yet arrived so I think 2nd on the list
were the Germans at maybe $25/day. The rock bottom were the Dutch
at $2.50/day. The Dutch were not so rich in those days, or maybe
just careful with their money

Not quite what you said originally.
So which of the main passages stink?
Most of the main passages including the ones some French objected to
were in the Treaty of Rome.

Which part/s stink?
(and don't reply "all of it")
Which individual rights are taken away? Quote, please.
I am European, a place where we don't have the Patriot Act.

Tell me, did the proposed Constitution grant you the Right not to
inform the government where you reside or the Right not to carry ID ?
How about the Right to reasonable bail during adjudication of criminal
charges ?
