So, two things, in the history of France. Pretty shoddy record.

Don't forget that about 28% of the English language comes from French too. ;)

None of the English that I use comes from France.

I read tons of Rousseau and Voltaire. They were at the heart of the enlightenment; Americans are students of the enlightenment theory (though, I can't ignore Briton, John Locke).

You're right about one thing: bitches!

I just thought I'd throw in Foucault as he is an important (though misunderstood) twentieth century philosopher.
