The French are serving as a perfect example of the frog in boiling water. It's up to the rest of the western countries to stop the same thing from being repeated elsewhere.
I would really like to say that we can do that. I'm not sure it can be done without a real world example of collapse beyond repair. Greece wasn't enough. I'm afraid a country, like France, is going to have to essentially collapse and provide the final:
"OK, do you understand now, Idiots?"
lesson. But the downside of the chaos may be too dangerous to let happen.
And we all know that, even clubbed about the head with a ball bat, some of those mongoloids are still going to say:
"They just didn't do it right."
FULL DISCLOSURE: I have a serious case of the ass about France. I hate the smug, useless bastards.
