My prayers go to you and the people of Greece. It's not much better here in the U.S. Both the media and government choose to ignore the real problems such as unemployment, the surge in homeless, the rising debt, the slow death of this country, the destruction of the Constitution and the injustice of it all. Instead gay marriage rights have been made center stage once again and all of a sudden with the media and government. Anything to fool the masses, I guess.

Just remember my friend, that Yahweh looks out for His children and in the end we will be rewarded for all we've gone through while those who have caused this injustice will be punished. Don't let your hope fade. Hold on and keep your head up no matter how hard things get. Stay strong..

I think you meant elections my brother, but perhaps a second round of erections will help. Good luck. Looks like a mess over there,

The european union is a political union only; it has a shared currency but no central control like the fed has in the US. This shake out will end with a monetary centralized union with the usual suspects in charge.

I'm sorry for you, Northstar, being caught in the turmoil. The perverse sort of communism you may see as a result isn't the one based on "from each according to their ability and to each according to their need." The updated stalinist-maoist model is corporate; with one giant corporation in charge. It may be where many of us are headed...a sort of oligarchy with a conglomerate of branches but essentially...one giant global corporation.

I hope not but shit often floats to the top.

You're talking New World Order, my friend. And last time I checked that's a very bad thing. Very, very, very, very, very, very bad thing.

I'm considering openning a snack shop when I retire. I'm gonna call it "New World Orders"
