Hmmm...and how about petrol bombing and burning nursery school buildings, post offices, and Churches? Or shooting police officers? And.....is burning cars also a standard prank in Berlin and Brussels? A.A. The Germans are hardly a model of civilized behavior. Brussels did their nth degree level looting and gangsterism in the Congo under Leopold. You need better examples.

So far this year, not counting the cars burnt in the current riots, over 20,000 (twenty thousand) cars have been burnt in France. So perhaps it's less serious than it looks. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
