French students walk near a sign which reads, 'Villepin, We Got You and Sarkozy, We'll Get You', in reference to France's Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, during a march in Paris April 11, 2006. France's students and trade unions prepared a victory parade on Tuesday to mark the demise of a hated youth jobs law (CPE), with politicians and analysts split over whether

"French students walk near a sign which reads, 'Villepin, We Got You and Sarkozy, We'll Get You'"

...

Is it just me, or does that not even make sense?

Maybe college professors running the system?

Oh, never mind, I understand it now. The odd grammar confused me a bit. I read it as, Villepin, WE GOT YOU AND SARKOZY, We'll Get You", hehe.

Hey the French are desperate to excell at something on a global scale. At least the students see that they have a real mark to make--- not in scholarship of course but rather as professional protesters.

I guess they are not used to victory. They don't know what to do now.

As I understand it, this law, now retracted, was put in place to literally save their economy. HEY IDIOTS...there won't be any jobs when the economy is in the toilet. Usually, it's about this time, I'd start making fun of France. But given what's going on in our Country, I don't think I should be throwing stones.

"But given what's going on in our Country, I don't think I should be throwing stones."

The French kids protested for a month on this deal before the government caved. I doubt our weasley politicians will last that long. Taking surrender lessons from the French, we are.

France is already finished. We are watching the final collapse play out before our eyes. France's crisis of viability as an economic entity is much more urgent than what GM is facing right now.

Between the immigrants, the students, the unions, and the metastasizing continued riots France has no way out.

The question becomes, what will happen when the government of France is forced to recognize its complete insolvency, which it will inevitably have to do within a year or so at most.

What will be the impact on the world economy, when a bedrock European government finally goes catastrophically broke?

Interesting times, indeed.

You know, you'd think we would watch these people and learn a thing or two from them.
