[DeTomaso] possibility for after-Spa weekend

[Pantdino]

As I recall they rioted not because they were going broke but because the government wanted to cut back on their wildly generous retirement age or other benefits.

Greece had rioting in the streets a while back because they are unhappy that 
hey are going broke and Portugal is on their way. How long did they think 
ou can just sit around drinking Uzo all day?
he last time I was in Portugal, I was amazed at how little anyone works. 
hey all complain that they have no money, but they only work part-time 
maybe), drive a 'Benz and eat out at cafe's everyday.

 According to Newsweek magazine "Europe is experimenting with democratic 
 socialism"    We'll see if it works.

 There was a French philosopher who said that democracy will fail because 
 people will keep voting themselves more benefits until the system 
 collapses.
 He may be proven right.

 Charlie,

 Do you work for an American company?
 My impression is that most European countries are socialist welfare states
 where everyone gets 6 wks of paid vacation, even if you just started work
 last week as a dishwasher. :-)

 The sister of our exchange student got preggers w/o husband at 19 and the
 German government gave her money to buy furniture for her rent-free apt,
 etc, etc.

 I imagine Roland has some feelings about that.  :-)

 Jim

 Life's a bitch. I'll think of them while I'm back at work.

 The weekend after Spa is the Le Mans 24 hour race. Sounds like there are
 uite a few events that weekend

 Yes, I think most of the Brits are planning on retiring straight to their
 ountry resort hotel north of Le Mans, after the Spa event, and camping out
 here for the week leading up to the race. :>)
