Sorbonne Students Rioting

This morning's issue of the Kansas City Star had an interesting editorial by Jonah Goldberg. I don't usually agree with his neocon view of the world, but this one gave me a chuckle. He can be witty. I mean, who can't laugh at the phrase creme de la Brie? You can read the entire article for yourself. He has taken this approach to promote some of the things that American economic leadership has done. One thing he did say that surprised me..."France pretends to be a great civilization, but in reality it wants to be an Epcot Center attraction, a "Franceland" where everything is comfortable and protected. Liberating the job market, even a tiny bit, threatens a system designed to keep the French upper crust from working too hard and to keep those brownskinned and lower-class slobs out of the best jobs and cocktail parties

It surprised me that he would even think of using the term liberating, since he is so very conservative in his views. He does write an amusing article that can give us all a moment to reflect. Enjoy!!
