Friday, September 25, 2009 Former French president and member of the Académie Française, Valérie Giscard d'Estaing, has just released a novel called Le Président et la Princesse, in which a French president who eerily resembles himself meets a British princess, who is the exact portrait of Diana, except for the name (now Patricia).

Hello,
this is a good idea. I'm sorry that there is not such group in Poland. But... I'd like to have answer to this question: could we have better system than a democracy.
Someone (I think Churchill) said that democracy is the worst system we have but we haven't anything else. One professor from France (I don't remember the name) said that democracy means we always choose the people we don't like because their opponents are ...

Colony Collapse Disorder Tuesday, April 3, 2007 http://www.celsias.com/blog/2007/03/29/european-bees-taking-a-nosedive/
We’ve had significant interest in our recent posts on Colony Collapse Disorder in the U.S. (here, and here). The latter of the two stories intimated that European bees are also being affected.
