I hosted 3 french students this year, and they were AMAZED at the coverage  
of the French protests on tv here. One had protested himself in Paris a few  
months ago. They said that the French TV has never shown the first minute of 
the 
 protests and the newspapers don't report or just do so in the police blotter 
 area. They said the Govt has such firm controls on the media that aside from 
the  French who see the protests in person, the rest of the country is 
oblivious. All  three have had friends arrested and jailed in the protests, 
and they 
just  disappeared for lengths of time up to months, with no contacts. They 
had to stay  in jail until the courts got around to seeing them, and were 
just 
kicked loose  unceremoniously. It is really not a good situation over there.

No  wonder we don't have more rebellion and get-off-the-couch revolts in  this
country. I so admire how the French take to the streets, how they  protest
and go on strike. If you're involved in an insurrection in the USA,  it may
cost $10k or a long stay in  jail.
