Mmm, this is impossible nowadays because voters are informed through the mass-medias and mass-medias are entirely biased - they are only over-powerful and over-manipulated means of propaganda... but yes, though we have the Pope right at home in Rome, I notice in US there is an amount of religious frenziness that is bigger than here in Italy...

Fine ! Italian is very close to Spanish, quite similar to French. What book about Dante are you reading btw. ?

I believe Vinot's is the best biography about Saint-Just ever. Still quite curious about that one on Collot... have you got them finally ?
