for Hotwine, and all others

[quijote]

I don't think the legislators should stop at passing excise taxes on French wine; anything French should be taxed heavily. So, the next time someone invokes the social contract (Rousseau) or the legislative/executive/judicial trinity (Montesquieu), we should demand money!

In all honesty, don't such people realize that "red, white, and blue" are also colors on the French flag?! It does no one any good for our government to use a commodity such as wine in order to take some sort of revenge; all we're doing is hurting some of the best people in the world who have nothing to do with their government's policies.
