Tuiles,riz and Social beasts...

"Le jardin des Tuileries" is the old royal garden in front of the Louvre,right before the Champs Elysées. I crossed the Louvre's court yesterday thinking of how unbelievable it is to build such a big "house"for just one family,even if it is a royal one.
I was happy to see though that nowadays this kind of structure is used by the public who can walk their dog through the "cour carrée"but was forced to ask myself have times really changed? Are we allowed the same privileges our Presidents,our ministers and other heads of state enjoy,or is it an illusion? I would say it is a lure,a decoy, "un leurre",that our socialists dreams make us mistake for the truth. We are led to believe times have changed since we are able to walk the old royal appartments,yet we still cannot choose whether we will feed our pigs GMO's or whether I can build a yurt in the midlle of my field. I still have to abide by the rules made by those "social" east thinkers who come out of Ivy league schools and have never compared the price of two butters at 2 different grocery stores because they live on a tight budget. Although they surely have compared the price of their Rolex's with their old college roomates!
Ask yourself next time you walk along our old Monarch's castles if times have really changed since we cut their heads or if we need to cut our losses,and run for the hills...
