Power To The People

Qu’avons nous inventé ces derniers temps ? Qu’avons-nous appris ? Ce dernier man­dat prési­den­tiel a apporté son lot de révoltes, mais aucune inno­va­tion. J’en arrive à penser que notre prési­dent à fait comme les intéri­maires : il a attendu que le temps passe sans rien foutre pour pou­voir inscrire plus d’heures sur sa feuille de temps.

Sure, times have changed, most of the world isn’t try­ing to defeat com­mu­nism any­more, since it pretty much killed itself. Sure, China wasn’t tar­geted as the lat­est “Axis of Evil”. Sure, China hasn’t been accused of fos­ter­ing ter­ror­ist — so far — and no report has been made about imag­i­nary “weapons of mass destruc­tion” hid­den some­where between the Huanghe and the Changjiang.
