A lightbulb should go off in the heads of Americans while watching what
is going on in France.

Now that part of what you said, I agree with. Watching what the French
gov't is doing should be part of that light bulb.

Of the people that I work with, the Hispanics are the ones who save up
for the future, and urge their kids to do well in school (instead of
threatening to sue the teacher). The worst thing they do is drive drunk
and think handing the police officer a 20 will fix it... but to be fair,
that's the way it works where they're from.


I'm more worried about the needy-zero's who
won't, not can't, work, and suddenly find themselves
hungry, cold, or both.


That's why I mentioned the riots of the '60s and early '70s. The U.S. is
tilting, socially and economically, and if it tilts far enough then
those on the bottom will start trying to push it back by more direct
means. As a friend of mine is fond of saying, "This is not an orderly
process." Opportunity is what America is all about, as long as people
can work hard and get ahead then they have hope in the future. If they
have no hope then why does anyone expect them to play by rules that are
only pushing them further down? What would *you* do?
