French protest being asked to work…

2005-02-05
By

Thousands of French protest longer working hours Seems the French think having to work more than 35 hours a week is too much and the unions have called protests. Sure, 80 hours is a bit much, but 35 hours is 7 hours a day. The economy is in the tank with 10% unemployment, and...

Pope Sees Frailties as Affirming Life This is a long series in the continuing harping on the retirement issue of Pope John Paul II. As someone who is Catholic and not exactly out of tune with the hierarchy, there is no suggestion he should retire. It has been put to death repeatedly and hasn’t...
