Because other countries aren't. Look at where a country's time is spent.
Canada is more concerned about ice hockey and importing cars.
Mexico is more concerned about money and going to the beach.
USA is more concerned about power and politics.
England is more concerned about tea and futball.
Switzerland is more concerned about importing celebrities and money.
Australia is more concerned about huge frogs and the environment.
India is more concerned about food and telemarketing jobs.
China is more concerned about jobs last names and population.
Japan is more concerned about clothes, money, and property.
Yes all countries do lip service to art, culture, and beauty, but Paris actually does it more often. They accept all artists from all over the world. I would agree with someone else that said Paris is not France. Yes, these are all over-generalizations, but that is probably all that this thread will ever be about. *smile*
