The End of Europe -- Robert J. Samuelson: ...in general Europe is immobilized by its problems. This is the classic dilemma of democracy: Too many people benefit from the status quo to change it; but the status quo isn't sustainable.

Believing things should continue as before, they see almost any change as menacing.

I noticed that there is an employment application box on the construction fence at El Pollo Loco (Monte Vista Crossing shopping center). If I were a young kid again, looking for a fast food job, I'd definitely fill one of those out. Not only would you have access to some of the best fastfood around -- but you might get a chance to practice some of your conversational Spanish working for a truly Mexican franchise -- an international corporation to add to your resume. Don't be chicken, Karl! You'd be crazy to pass this one by.
