Honestly speaking I thing the riots are being used as a way to derail Sarkozy. He is being seen as a sure bet for 2007 elections. There might have been a way to defuse the riots but they are not being controlled to get rid of Sarkozy. As for the problem itself: The European social-democracies were constituted for a different set of circumstances. Those circumstances have disappeared by the late 70s. They have not evolved and are now begining to be solved under pressure: Germany and France are cases in point. There's still more to come, unfortunately.

I wouldn't call it healthy. Necessary. But it's more a psychosis than health. < think what is happening now is healthy. The post-war neo-socialist political synthesis is getting ground down into the dirt. > What gets rewarded gets done and for decades, the socialist envy-based redistribution from producers to bludgers has been rampant, resulting in hideous social activities which have been rewarded. New Zealand is in the thick of the same social phenomena of hundreds of thousands of entitled bludgers being trained to do nothing and expect lots. The devil finds work for idle hands. The old verities of virtue and the seven deadly sins are as real as ever, just subsumed in nigga rap culture, socialist nirvana and narcotic nihilism. Nature takes care of such things. Nature is very cruel, relentless and merciless. There's a never-ending stream of human waywardness and faulty philosophies to be cleared from the evolutionary trail. The problem is actually at the other end of the social scale - not in the 'zones' of taxpayer-funded revolution but in the Big Brother mentality which people vote for decade after decade. People deserve the government they get in democracies [the majority do anyway]. Mqurice
