From January - The Global World Ordering
And so it is that I have finally been finding a word that is like the plural ‘vous’ that is so useful when dressing the all of you, and this word is being ‘yall’. OK so I know it is not really a word English in England, but after an extensive search of England I have been finding nothing except where they are saying ‘yous’ in the northern bit, but this is not necessarily a plural, and whilst the same is being said for ‘vous’, I’m not being sure that ‘yous’ is following any kind of rule at all. So I am left with the ‘yall’, which is only following the most relaxed of rules and is coming from your cousins across the puddle as you say. Now it might be looking like an odd thing for me to want to share with the Americans after the years that have passed recently when they were so rude about the France and her people, calling us ‘the monkeys who eat the cheese of surrender’, but it is not always having been this way. For many years throughout the history of the young nation of the States United of America we were very good friends, united, of course in our hatred of the Englishmen; surrender is what George Washington and his Men Minute would have been doing to the English if it was not for the assistance of his French allies. At least I am thinking this is being the case. And of course, it is having been the French peoples who on the birth of that new nation, as it is being throwing off the shackles of it’s colonial ruler, who gave to the States United their Statue of Liberty, as if we are saying “welcome to the club of the modern world, welcome to the club of the republics.” But it is all being changed since the War of the Second World, and even more so since the war of the second Gulf, and now it is the England that is the friend of both its old adversaries, and the France and US will not be talking too much. But what is being stranger still even more so to my ears is that I am finding out that there was a time when Guy Mollet, the Prime Minister of the France was offering our country to be part of the union of Great Britain as soon back as 1956! And, sacred blue, the English Prime Minister, Mr Anthony Eaten is saying no. This is what is showing everything about the change in nature of the world, as historically the dispute between England and both the France and US is that they (the Englishmen) are not happy about not owning the land of these other countries that they think is rightfully belonging to them. So what is it in 1956 that is stopping Mr Eaten from gripping with two hands what his nation is having been coveting for over 500 years? Is he understanding the changing nature of empire and with it the changing roles of the imperial nations? I’m not being sure, but my guess is being that Mr Eaten could be seeing into the future and was worrying that one day the united country of Great Britainfrance might be run by one Jacques Chirac, and even though he would not be being President (because we would be having a queen) he might have still becoming Prime Minister, even so, even then, no one wants to be imposing that great butter-mouthed oaf on their nation if they can possibly not be doing so. With great fortune however, 2007 is the year in which the France will finally rid herself of this dreadful man. Some of us are hoping that she is making a better choice this time…
