I don't recall America having double-digit unemployment rates like France ... It depends on which year you look at. ... or having rioting foreigners burning up cars on a regular basis. France doesn't have that, either. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

People are "poor" in the US because they personally neglect things like their own education and refuse to take any initiative in their lives. No, Stan. While that is true in many cases, do you think everyone is cut out for higher education? |

Nobody is forced to work as an employee in the US. People are free to start their own businesses if they think they can do better. If they aren't skilled enough to find employment with benefits while working for someone else, are they really skilled enough to do it on their own? |

The problem is neglecting _all_ education, even the minimal education required to function in society. Nearly a third of the American population is functionally illiterate. That indicates an education too poor to suffice for daily life. Forget about college; these are people who effectively dropped out before they finished elementary school (or who went to schools so poor that they were never actually taught to read). -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

that's part of the mentality that says US must be right because its "richer" so lets all flog ourselves to death to own three cars and a load of useless stuff rather than have a good work life balance. Ultimately your competing with the Chinese with no leave, are you looking forward to celebrating 2% unemployment and no days off at all? Nobody is forced to work as an employee in the US. People are free to start their own businesses if they think they can do better. whoosh!!!! -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Note that I can own 3 cars and a lot of stuff that I want (never mind if *you* or someone else thinks it's useless) while having a great work/life balance. A couple of months vacation a year. Or more. 40 hour work weeks generally. More time with my family than at work. You have been reading too many issues of the World Worker's Daily. |

Note that I can own 3 cars and a lot of stuff that I want (never mind if *you* or someone else thinks it's useless) what you probably don't get is that that lifestyle isnt supportable. We need to consume less, work less and pollute less, its not really anything to do with what I think is useless. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

That's the kind of thinking that destroys civilizations. And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. People have been saying the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep improving. |
