Isn't democracy a pain? But let us be led by philosophers and art historians, into a New Golden Age of Europe For the Elite Cultural Workers!
German Intellectuals learn from American salesmen:
"When Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece joined the Union, the wage level of these countries lay 50 percent below that of the French. Now, an almost equal level has been reached."
See their itchy little fingers crossed behind their backs; are the French citizenry dumb enough to leap to the conclusion that real wages in Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Greece have skyrocketed? Can the French one day aspire to parity with Polish or Slovakian real wages? Will the French rush toward the day when they'll be paid like Haitians, affirming their traditional devotion to la fée Egalité?
Courage. Strength. Rebirth. Enlightenment. Freude schöner Götterfunken. Peace (guaranteed by the consortium which brought peace to Haiti, Ivory Coast, Iraq and Kosovo.) Beethoven coffee mugs! Kafka key rings! Paris may one day be the Warsaw of the West!
Who is this double? What happened to the real Habermas?
