Today is a big strike in Paris, a strike of public employees.
I'm 17 and obliged to stay at home. Strike has become an
institution, makes part of the etiquette. And they're doing a lot
of noise for 2 pounds of trinquets, whereas they could be
fighting for importants causes, like a complete remake of the
economic system, to acquire a system based on human condition,
instead of individual profit. But these people don't seem to
understand this. And tomorrow, with satisfaction or not, they'll
stop the strike, still ready to do it again, ready to defend
their own little profit, but not to think about the others'
condition. And the others have often much harder problems to
carry on their shoulders. I'm in love whith what we call "le
service public α la franτaise", but I think they'd better think
about the others, sometimes. I they go on this way, it'll be a
long time to change the systems, which needs a lot improvements.
Or perhaps a revolution? I mean a cultural and economical one.
