Rick Siegel Prespectives on Freedom and Liberty

Czar Nicolas Sarkozy has won a small victory in getting the Burka and veil banned from use in France.

It was only a year ago that Sarkozy, the small Napoleonic figure heading the French State, has worked endlessly to get the Muslim woman and those whose choice is to be conservative to embrace what he claims is the French way.

One has to only look at Slick Nicks wife, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, to see what is seen as French sensibility and wonder.

But the French are leading the fray by claiming that if you visit France you must embrace French values. Those values include bribery, prostitution and corruption as well as scantily clad woman. No longer a choice for woman the law will force all woman to look like Nick’s wife.

Embracing French values now means no choice or freedoms with even the cloths you wear to be dictated by a government. The French governments care for freedoms stops at the point of freedom for anything and specifically choice. But then if you are s subject you are subjected.

One can only ask when will the Arab countries make similar laws and force French tourists to wear veils?
