Liberty, Fraternity, Equality.

It seems to me (the rant from hell begins sedately enough) that Nikolas Sarkasky (Frances president elect) is little more than a facist pig, but don't get me wrong this is fascism with a small ef. It seems to me (a phrase that once sounded so sedate and polite now brisstles with rage) that he has a pathological aversion to anything even slightly left wing, which apparantly includes strikers, immigrants, students, and of course anyone who dares to take part in a protest unless of course that protest is protesting something left wing or something in one of the previously mentioned 'left wing' catogries. People say that he's a modernist, but it seems to me that if you want to progress then you build on the past, you don't try and destroy it and Sarkosky has publically stated his wish to destroy the legacy of 1960's student radicalism. He wants France to be able to compete in the world market (OK cool man, but please put down the gun, i say in my finest Parisian accent) so he wants to get rid of the 30 hour working week, fair enough some might say, but do you think he's going to put a limit on it, or do you think he's more likely to let employers set whatever hours they like without any legislative protection for the workers because of course protecting the workers from abuse isn't cost effective, and of course longer hours mean greater productiveness for the average company about town (town in this case being the global market place) If by chance these hours are just the other side proper and good and someone falls asleep because they don't have enough time to get a decent nights sleep then just dock their hours and make them stay longer to make up the time, but wait a second the money i gave them (the worker) after i docked their (still the worker) hours was a lot less than what i gave them before i docked their hours, hmmmmm that gives me an cunning idea maybe i should just pay them less then i get to keep more money and they work longer to earn the same as they were earning before, and i get more money, and they fall asleep more and and more and i pay them less and less and keep more and more for myself and pretty soon i'm not paying them anything at all, and now we're really competing i mean we're going great guns those Yanks better watch out cos there's a new cat in town (town being the global market place) and the best thing of all is that if anyone commplains then you can just call them a Communist traitor, and who ever listens to them i mean come on man this ain't Russia 19 something something cos i didn't do that well in history (but who needs history thats like so yesterday), i mean what are you gonna do send me to the work camp! Ha Ha Ha Haaaaa.
