It pays to watch the Europeans if you want to know where America will be going in years to come. Now it turns out that the European Union is trying to establish a vacation as a human right (presumably, a paid vacation). It will go up there with other human rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free housing, free health care and free higher education.
It is a terrific development in European thinking, what with all the spare money lying around the Old World and the need to boost airplane ticket sales once the unpronounceable Iceland volcano stops burping.
In the near future free movies and popcorn and free meals at good restaurants should be added to list of human rights in the EU.
How about, also, freedom from work?
