"The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

This is not because we had Mitterand as pres for 14 years, that Socialism means French as you seems hinting it. In fact Socialism in Western European economies was long a stalwart of BRITISH LABOUR PARTY which revised its status in 1996 by abolishing the 1904 ruling stating that means of production are collective properties. Besides Karl Marx and Lenin did not picked up Paris as their favourite hang-out when in exile .....
By the way, who is adding civil servants on the USA payroll, GW Bush !
