@jurekrobotek oublions ce gros caprice de petits bourgeois inféodés aux loges maçoniques....les Français voulaient être chinois, les juifs voulaient être des immigrés, les femmes voulaient être des hommes....maintenant il faut passer à la caisse: profs incapables de tenir leur classe, divorces systématiques, avortement de masse, homoparentalité, tri embryonaire, pornographie...Loi et ordre doivent primer, rendez-vous en 2012.

@Iggy3d how can u reduce the 1968 movements down to just a couple of individuals? It was a movement that inspired and continues to inspire those who believe in equality and justice.

Jews on the street

Mai 68 students are now overpaid Fat Cats and their lovely wives are having boob jobs. These riots were a farce, they should have been forced to clean up the streets with toothbrushes.

The epilogue is excellent too.

Great presentation of the artwork! And with a respect for the artists' desires.
