Question

[james_davis_nicoll]

Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?

No.

Are cool and chic synonymous?

Myself, 'cool' is identified with attitude and presence. Chic, to me, means what and how you wear what you got wearin' on you (to inaccurately quote a teeny phrase from George Clinton's immortal "Summer Swim". :)

Though certainly the two can and do support each other!

Love, C.

In this case, "cool" is the same as "interesting." E.g., "Oh, that's cool!" said by a 9 year old.
