If you have to give up job security to get a job, what next? Will the pampered employers be inspired to demand a suspension of health and safety regulations? Will they start requiring their workers to polish their shoes while hand-feeding them hot-buttered croissants? Non to all that, the French kids said.

Aahhh, back to the glory days of Germinal! Is this for real, or a parody?

The name of the rag is "The Progressive". If you click around a little there you can download commie hymns for your iPod so you can autoindoctrinate 24/7.

What I like best about this article is that the French students' protest is an act of courage! In other words, "the government should enforce my job security" is a statement of self-reliance and self-determination.

WTF planet is she on?

Coming from Butte, Montana, she is a prolific journalist who peppers her writing with a sardonic sense of humor. Must-read book: L'Amérique pauvre: Comment ne pas survivre en travaillant. At 8.08 Euros, this is a bargain you should not pass:
Elle tire de son expérience une conclusion terrifiante, qui résonne aussi dans notre pays : l'immense majorité des citoyens a accepté que la richesse insolente des uns se nourrisse de la misère sociale des autres.
Rats! How come nobody ever thought of this?

Could you spot me some of that richesse insolente to the tune of 8,08 apiece, Barb?
