I can't quite convey how sad and angry that makes me. I fully understand why the people are out on the streets looking for answers. Govt for the people by the people now becomes Govt for the corporate by the corporates... but it's ok, it's just Greece and it's their own fault

I would dearly love to change that from being the norm. Those who believe in this financial system truly need their heads read. We can send billions of $$$ of junk into space, but we can't provide a well paying job for everyone. Something is drastically wrong somewhere and Greece highlights it perfectly. Sure we should be able to suffer life's little setbacks, but where your country goes tits how do you do that? Especially when your representatives aren't the ones in control of your country. Insanity!!!!!!!!!!

nah the greeks got a fresh loan last week, the conditions attached are practically law, if there is a next default they are off the euro, not that many of them would get a job.

Why would it be our turn?
When did we lie through our teeth to get into the EU?
When did we adopt the Euro as a currency?

There's still time as Europe is supposed to be on the brink of another recession... I wouldn't put anything past the banks.
