Even after forcing the government to back down, and guarantee them jobs for life (if they can get them), the students in France are still protesting. Give them a centimeter, and they'll take a kilometer.

France--a country run by college students. All is now explained.

"We want to see how we can take advantage of this power struggle that is now in our favor to garner new victories," Bruno Julliard, head of the UNEF student association, told AP Television News.

Well, at least he has a job.

I'd suggest they use their newfound power to get the French government to repeal the law of gravity, or at least get it turned down a bit. Think of the possibilities for enhanced access to space, not to mention the interesting tourism potential. Hey, it's at least as realistic as their attempts to repeal the laws of economics.

As an active alumnus of a large, Michigan university, I volunteer to interview prospective scholarship students. These are the cream of the crop, so to say, and like some cream are spoiled.

One day they will grow up, run for Congress, be elected, and run our country. We will not be much better than France. The difference will be that the dumb college students will be Congrssmen.

Of course, it is true that this really was an attempt to get the students to pay for their parent's problems - although certainly a step forward, by saying that students will have at risk jobs and all previous hires don't you would be firming the entitlement package received by the previous generation. Almost certainly, companies would hire the students for only one year to make the law defactor hire "at will", like the US. Good for the economy (and the students) in the long run - but that would really bother me that the current jobholders get a free ride for life while I have to work "at will".

Of course, the political reality is that there is no way in heck a law changing everyone to "at will" would pass. (They probably thought they could sneak it by the students, and then raise the age limit each year) Just goes to show - it is very hard to get rid of welfare, once you start leeching on society you have very strong motivation and resources to remain a leech.

Wasn't the last time a country was taken over by college students, it ended up with an Ayatollah in charge?
