No-pasaran linked up this NY Times article detailing a new movement in France:

Finally, instead of dissembling behind ambiguous notions of Gallic joie de vivre, someone in this leisurely land has declared outright that the French should eschew the Anglo-Saxon work ethic and openly embrace sloth.

The country openly touting itself as an alternative to the "cruel" market-driven system of the US is slowly rusting solid like the tin man caught in a rain storm. This is the logical conclusion of technocratic "fairness" policies of all sorts so often advocated by the left.

I think government should be used only where absolutely nothing else will work. Far too many of you out there seem to think it should be used wherever possible. Welcome to France!
