La France n'est pas libre.

I will finish this essay
when I am in Ireland,
because what I have to
say could land me in jail.

" I may not agree with what
   you are going to say, but I
   I will defend with my life
   your right to say it "

                                     Voltaire.

ps.

But that was pre the French
Fratricide of 1789 and also
before Eiffel  decided that
La France could no longer
claim Liberty and thus gifted
the statue to America.
