Europeans, together with American bien pensants, like to think that the U.S. is crass and violence prone, but note how much more sophisticated are Wisconsin's teachers and other public employees, as compared to their colleagues in Athens, London, and other European capitals. Instead of smashing windows and lighting fires, the public servants in Wisconsin simply mob their government and bring it to a halt. What's more, they get paid for it! Fox News (who else?) has calculated that the teachers alone have been paid more than $6,000,000 for their supposed sick days--and that's just in Milwaukee and Madison!
"We are all caught in a much larger battle," opines Wisconsin's "teacher of the year." How right she is. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
