| I really thought the French were smarter than this. They do know that money doesn't grow on trees, right? |

| #7 I'm sure their children and grandchildren wont mind a life of relative poverty so their parents can live off their backs for a few decades. |

| #6 "We want to stop working at 60 because it's something our parents, our grandparents and even our great-grandparents fought for" You've still got a few WWII survivors still living - why not ask them if they fought the Nazi occupation for the "right" to retire at 60? What's French for "dipshit"? |

| #5 We want to stop working at 60 because it's something our parents, our grandparents and even our great-grandparents fought for I'm sure that no one would mind if Mr. Gilly quit working at 60. That is definitely his right. What? He wants to get PAID when he quits????? Well, that's his problem then isn't it???? Nobody objects to a bank robber just walking into a bank, it's those unauthorized withdrawls that cause the problem. |

| #1 A 'Privilege' has never been considered a 'Right' by rational beings to my knowledge. But I digress......... |
