I saw this in a Newsweek piece, describing what a great life it is to grow up in France:
His [a French person's] education, from grade school through university, will be essentially free.
Er, define "essentially" and then define "free."
I love France. Loved it when I stayed there, loved it when I was just visiting. But "essentially free" is a lie. If education in France is truly free, then I have to assume that university professors do not get paid, buildings are erected by construction workers that never eat, and books are printed on thin air.
Maxim: whatever and wherever it is, somebody has to pay for it.
