There were already demonstrations outside 261 schools on Monday, which the education ministry said had been blockaded.
In the western suburb of Nanterre in Paris, dozens of students clashed with riot police who fired rubber bullets.

Here is a video about how police unblock a secondary school : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNxQkndLvd8

With a such attitude, I think that the government is making authority challengers. Witnessing violence from people in power when you're young make you think, no ? what do you think ?
 
Maybe its time to oil the bicycle back up.................? Getting fuel 2 day, 2 pump handles were locked leaving one with limited choice's....One was diesel the other a higher grade of regular.............."They" play a good game by making labor to look as if being responsible for the problem............More like creative psychopathic thinking of control............by the nut house of the P's2b...

...ah Fuel Shortages......

Call me an old romantic if you like, but they always remind me of my lovely wife!

When we married it was during a strike related Fuel Shortage -

Everyone seemed so upset and worried, many lying and cheating to con rationed Fuel out of the Petrol stations , but I had better things to think about.

On a serious note though, it frightened me a little too. To see the reactions of so many normal and every day folk when we feel threatened by temporary shortages, that we know for sure will come to end. It makes me wonder how the same people would behave when longer term, or permanent shortages of food or fuel should occur.

Back in 1973 (http://en.wiwkiedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_ciris) with the oil crisis had the long lines and chaos. Panicked, people even resorted to buy 55 gallon drums to store gasoline at home, not a good idea. This was when the states were driving gas guzzling cars promoted by the auto industry big three, fueled as well of American passion, and mentality that things never change. It was also about economics as well. The United States dream of plenty was being shattered as all would come too understand the dependency to foreign oil delivery's was driving factor in there ability to drive at all.

This situation lasted 6 months and the government had to resort to odd and even days, with the issuing of fuel stamps, to stem the violence, leaving one able to buy fuel with the color coded stamp only to waiting in long lines. Things have not come to that at this time, but who knows what "they" will do to promote chaos.

Almost 4 decades later and there still playing the same old song of combustion which has yet to advance to anything better due to greed, and corruption.

They can put a man on the moon, but have yet to change in building a better mode of travel, to ending this madness of oil dependency. :umm:
