I'm French, and i just can't forget what i have learn to the school:

Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen from the Constitution of Year I (1793)

Art35. When the government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is for the people and for each portion of the people the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties.

We're sick and tired of your ism-schism game

To die and go to heaven in Jesus' name

We know and understand

Almighty God is a living man

You can fool some people sometimes

But you can't fool all the people all the time

And now we've seen the light (What you gonna do)

We gonna stand up for our rights

@ohmahh No i do understand. I`m just saying that when we now are going into more difficult economic times, we must again work a little harder and also put the "brakes on" regarding the spending. Stop working at the age of 55-60 is a luxury

we cannot afford the coming years.
