I have received a number of private emails, too many, concurring with my sad appraisal from people who presumably did not think it prudent to concur publicly on IBM-MAIN.
"Too much" employee security in the traditional western European manner is said by free-market economists to be economically stifling, but too little is clearly problematic too. As Pierre Vergniaud said (and Goya of course drew), «Il a été permis de craindre que la Révolution, comme Saturne, dévorât successivement tous ses enfants».
