Will A Cardigan Shrink If In Dryer?

Anatomy of a lingering malaise

fever is now a social ritual that is part of the landscape hexagonal, as cars burned in the neighborhoods, ritual undergone by all the French forced to take their evil patience in waiting for darker days. After the summer heatwave, the return will be "hot." The increase in acts of "social violence" - euphemistically called "social movements" - is way to honor a country so quick to give lessons in social dialogue and corporate citizen in the name of a model who wants above all others. These methods, which are more akin to vandalism than civic expression, show that France is sick of herself, a victim of his dying model it does not even consider going out. Because this model allows all but the dialogue and consultation.

Our country is changing in the conflict, struggle and violence. Ultimately, the welfare state defies the rule of law. We had turn movements of protests against pension reform, reform of health insurance or that of universities and national education. After saying "no" to a draft European constitution which France was greatly inspiring is that the CPE to put young people in the street. The only slogan and rally is on these occasions noisy demonstrations of discontent, to make the process of "globalization" and liberalism. When banks or traders make money, they are stigmatized. When they lose money, they are vilified. After centuries of activities bank is to believe that we still do not understand the business of banking and finance. We forget that economic growth would not be possible without the intermediation bank or financial activities . The paychecks CAC 40 arouse fear and indignation hypocritical while footballers stamps or peoples of the star system admired. Plants block their employees or students of universities block, and that the normal expression of a hard-won social rights. The management of a company closes a factory because enjoy security conditions that one is entitled to expect under the rule of law and justice punishes said direction charged with violating the freedom to work. Farmers block traffic and vandalize shelves in supermarkets. And the media are sympathetic these actions ...

Two weights, two measures.

While the world is changing radically with the emergence of new economic powers, this country bogged down in a process of permanent social war. The political class as a whole has a responsibility in contributing to the electorate like children. In suggesting that the French the state would take over all aspects of our daily lives, policies have ended up making a "citizen" at once passive and more and more demanding as a spoiled child whose parents would have become a slave: I offer less other but the more I wonder ... while invoking the sacred word "solidarity." They forget that the first expression of solidarity is to do his best, and everything possible, not to be borne by other .
Democracy needs of politicians, but democracy also needs individuals responsible, innovative and enterprising. The quality of the latter the greatness of the former. By cons, no political leader is grown by lowering the voters to the rank of individuals assisted and frightened.
