X-Message-Number: 20952 From: Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2003 12:45:57 EST Subject: News from France --part1_114.1df7c926.2b618455_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit France is a nice country where any woman not walking in the street can now be put in jail because of "prostitute attitude", talking to more than one friend near or in a building entry is too an ofense and will be finned acordingly. Any policemen can stop your car, extract you and send you in "garde a vue" for one day if he think you may have smoked canabis, no proof requested, simply he has to "think" (yes, in France, pigs think!). More than 20 new jails will be built when 21000 education jobs are slashed. Today, 600 research job are supressed. Surely, we are here on the road of exponential growth in knowledge and technological power....
