I think many of us feel a great deal of empathy for France right now.
What I don't feel is Geraldo type pain (faux news on in the break room last nigbt) nor do I want to act like it's in my backyard just as I wouldn't feign such if it happened in, say, Pennsylvania or something. Yes, I get it, but please don't tell me all of a sudden it is your next door neighbor.
My empathy is for them.
What I said.
Much love and warm thoughts to the victims.
Eta: I took two years of french in hs and two quarters in college. We're not all philistines over here.
