#1 the much-feared riot police, the CRS

Much feared? The CRS (and their Gendarmerie counterprt the Gerndarmes mobiles) are a superbly disciplined troop who can stand for hours under a rain of projectiles without retaliating until they are ordered to. All while they see their comardes fall wounded, sometimes severely. And the last time a CRS got too far and killed a demonstrator was decades ago.

Even during the massive 1968 riots there were zero dead. But of course this didn't impede the demonstrators to shout "CRS SS", but if the CRS had really been like SS none of those cowardly momaboys of 1968 would have gone to a demonstration.

#2 It is often pointed out that French unemployment under the age of 26 is the highest in Europe, running at about 25 per cent.

Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. When is the concept of socialism ever going to be buried along with the concept of monarchy or slavery?

#3 When is the concept of socialism ever going to be buried along with the concept of monarchy or slavery?

Given that one of the biggest supporters of terrorism and militant Islam (but I repeat myself) is a kingdom in which slavery is illegal only in the sense of "don't get caught", I suspect socialism will be with us forever.

#4 Yup, RC, let us not forget that Saudi Arabia was the last nation on earth to abolish slavery waaaaaaay back in 1962.
