[QUOTE="Diamond, post: 1707789, member: 210209"] If the politicians in Washington had been presented with a sight like this one ... but with American flags rather than French flags? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-hit-by-new-wave-of-nationwide-strikes-1648608.html Why did we stay home last fall rather than get out and exercise our Constitutional rights to demonstrate? Knowing now all of the various scandals that have arisen from the bailouts so far, would you stay home if it happened again? I forgot to quote the article title: "Sarkozy under pressure as 'millions' take to streets" By James Mackenzie, Reuters "As many as three million people took to the streets across France today to protest against President Nicolas Sarkozy's handling of the economic crisis and demand more help for struggling workers. The protests, which polls show are backed by three quarters of the French public, reflect growing disillusion with Sarkozy's pledges of reform as the crisis has thrown tens of thousands out of work and left millions more worried about their jobs.
