I think Maharishi was right, not just about rebuilding Paris but all other huge cities as well. Perhaps I'm the biggest lover of Paris here, perhaps not. I love walking around with a camera, I love everything I see and above all I love the old cementaries. But there is a big BUT about Paris and that's about the inhabitants there. They are unhappy and are world-famous for their rudeness. Oh, I know the old argument; speak a little french with them and they'll lighten up, and that's true but only ever so little. They'll still be the rudest and most grumpy inhabitants of any city anywhere in the world. Why is that amid all the beauty ? How is it possible to be unhappy in such surroundings ? Tearing the whole thing own seems like a fantasy, but if it made the inhabitants more happy it will have my vote :-)
