1. It is what happens in a country where unions are still strong, though

less than they use to be.

It is at least the third time in 20 years than Chirac and his friends want to change labor laws so that young people have less right. Twice already this has been cancelled after protest. Hopefully, this will be the third time.

BTW, these articles are MISLEADING. Most protests were huge and mostly calm. This article, like the reports I have seen on CNN and FOX, want to make people believe that fighting for your rights will lead to disruption and violence.

Dont fall in the trap.

2. Yup, the Americans have been neutered

Most of them anyways. It's good to see other people stand up.

3. Sadly I must agree with you.

If you saw last weeks Boston Legal the speech given by alan,pretty much spoke to how I feel about the subject.I keep wondering what will it take to get people off the couch?
