Barbara Ehrenreich Salutes the French

Instead of bashing the French perhaps some of the displaced people from mass layoffs like at General Motors, Verizon and other huge U.S. corporations should start lobbing a few Molotov cocktails
Barbara Ehrenreich Salutes the French (from The Progressive's May issue) The Progressive: "What corporations call "flexibility"--the right to dispose of workers at will--is what workers experience as disposability, not to mention insecurity and poverty. The French students who were tossing Molotov cocktails didn't want to become what they call "a Kleenex generation"--used and tossed away when the employer decides he needs a fresh one."
