Viaje a Francia

Francia tiene cosas extrañas.

Los baños con tinas y regaderas de teléfono pegadas al grifo,
los minitel,
los teclados AZERTY,
las estaciones de las que sólo parten dos trenes al día,

y, desde luego,
las luchas que de hecho obtienen algo.

H For Hypocrisy

A near future where a hyper-mediatized government lies at every turn and spies every move of their citizens. (Now, I have to grant them this is entirely believable).

A masked individual, bent on the overthrowing of the status quo, resorts to terrorist acts to acomplish his revolutionary purpose. (Yeah, ok, that's been seen to happen too).

But that is, of course, totally cool and legitimate because, after all, everyone knows that to fight the powers that be (through whatever means necessary) is what good guys do (that is, until someone actually dares to do it). (This last part is, therefore, idiotically absurd, irrationally incoherent and simply not credible).

Too bad for everyone involved that the Academy does not (yet) give awards for adding insult to injury.
