The rioters who ran amok in England and burned some of our cities have given a wake up call to our government with its head in the sand.
Next time they'll be shot.

I read a French politico-cultural weekly aimed at a younger demographic group than my own, and it is always interesting to see how their views differ from mine.
Here are the 10 most important events of the year 2011 according to the readers of Les Inrockuptibles:
1. the Arab revolutions
2. the Fukushima catastrophe
3. the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair
4. (tied) the deaths of Usama Bin Laden and Amy Winehouse
6. the debt crisis
7. the fall of Gaddhafi
8. the rugby World Cup
9. the death of Steve Jobs
10. the death of Peter Falk
