[kj] o/t the french are rioting again.

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

'Fraid I have to disagree with ya there, Jon (and you're right, this is 
off topic for a Killing Joke list, I guess -- even though KJ have songs 
like "Bloody Election" and Mr. Coleman himself is Composer in Residence 
for the bloody EU now). The French have what I think's an admirable 
working class sense of organization and, unlike American workers, don't 
just sit there, hunker down, and hope it doesn't hurt too much when 
bosses or the business class try to impose austerity measures on them. 
They actually think they deserve some vacation every year, should have 
rights on the job, decent employment practices, etc. Good for them. Of 
course, business owners hate this; they prefer to settle where workers 
are more willing to be submissive (read: outsourcing to foreign 3rd 
world countries). There's a reason corporate power supports Sarkozy; he 
threatens to undermine a lot of the gains French workers have made. Fuck 
him.
