So, what do the problems in France tell us about people?
Anyone? Hello? Well, one good thing about not publicizing your blog, you don't have to deal with other people's thoughts and opinions. Good thing too. That way I can go on believing only my thoughts matter.

What do these problems in France suggest about what it is to be human? Well, the desire to succeed is part of the human condition. We all want to thrive. Those living in a free society but unable to participate in opportunities to succeed will rebel. The rebellious activities in France have nothing to do with religion or ethnicity. Although both make the protesters easy to identify, their grievances do not stem from either issue. They are angry about their inability to thrive. They are angry about being left out of the mainstream economy. They cannot find work, so they cannot thrive. Many were born in France and consider themselves French, but perhaps the French people who have lived there for generations don't see them as French. The ethnic ebb and flow over centuries is engulfing Europe and the Europeans don't like it. Too bad for them. It will be interesting to see how they approach balancing the cultural and ethnic changes. To a large extent, this is what Europe is facing in this millenium.
