Anyway, if going on holiday really is a human right, then I WANT MY BIG FAT TAXPAYER-SUBSIDIZED VACATION.
Blurb:
UNREAL. It's all so silly that I can't help posting this image for the 2004 flick:The European Union has declared travelling a human right, and is launching a scheme to subsidize vacations with taxpayers' dollars for those too poor to afford their own trips.
Antonio Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry, proposed a strategy that could cost European taxpayers hundreds of millions of euros a year, The Times of London reports.
"Travelling for tourism today is a right. The way we spend our holidays is a formidable indicator of our quality of life," Mr. Tajani told a group of ministers at The European Tourism Stakeholders Conference in Madrid on April 15 . . .
The plan -- just who gets to enjoy the travel package has yet to be determined -- would see taxpayers footing some of the vacation bill for seniors, youths between the ages of 18 and 25, disabled people, and families facing "difficult social, financial or personal" circumstances.

What about all the energy it takes to travel? I thought the EU loved mother earth.
You'll have to hope the Europeans claim universal jurisdiction for that right.
