...I'd be in favor of a law restricting wearing of Greek Fishermens' caps to actual Greek Fishermen.
Now, the Greeks are free to starve on their own terms.
Be happy for them.
Quit whining and DIE!
Now all they need is a dictator like Lincoln to step in and kill millions to SAVE the union!
*barf*
All this a reminder of the concept that once you create an entitlement state it becomes next to impossible to unwind it without tremendous civil unrest.
So is anyone. But the point here is that, despite their politics, they had the gumption to stand up for their convictions and do it, right or wrong, their way. They, essentially, through off the shackles of tyranny.
I think we need to look beyond “Left” or “Right” here and admire what they’ve done.
The more I’ve read and researched this the more remarkable I find it.
Well done Greece.
What? The Greeks, the authors of democracy, want to exercise their sovereignty and not let "The New World Order" push them around?
I love Nigel and maybe it’s dumb for me to doubt his call, but IMO his call on the death of the EU is seriously premature. He is of course very overreactive as far as the EU influence over Britain, and I mean zero disrespect with that statement: He has every right and reason to detest the idea of Britain surrendering sovereignty to Brussels. Yes...it (dissolution of the EU) may happen. But it’s not going to happen over a nothing-GDP country like Greece. Or Greece + Portugal. Add in any of Spain, Ireland, or Italy, or any combo of same, then I would start to worry.
Maybe, but it's still a long way from dead. A geographic Frankenstein that should never have been born.
There is not nothing like the freedom to dumpster dive as much as you want.
The EU was duct-taped together in the first place.
It will take the Antichrist to truly unify them. That’ll work, for a bit.

When Greece dissolves into chaos, lets see how fun they think socialism is.
It would be much like US assuming Mexico’s debt and trading dollars for pesos. Oh wait, never mind.
So as Greas dies, the European Union dies, so the world banking economy dies. Not to get all religious on you, but it is to be expected at this point. The second seal is fulfilled by Iran getting nuclear weapons, the third seal is worldwide economic collapse and famine. Gee I wonder what’s next?
They say that like it’s a BAD thing.
“Now, the Greeks are free to starve on their own terms.”
If I had to starve under tyrannical oppression of a foreign government, or go through a tough transition to take control of my own fate, I’d choose the second - as Greece did.
The EU will survive until the socialists run out of other people’s money.
If Europe doesn’t bail out Greece indefinitely, or untill the whole West collapses together, Hussein (US citizens) will, at first through the IMF. When that proves to be insufficient, he will bail out the IMF.
Stop saying it, just DO it!
The Euro was a huge mistake since the stability of the currency would be tied to the worst economies in Europe. It was only a matter of time that one or more of these economic basket cases would collapse, despite ridiculous bailouts by the stronger economies. The Euro was a house of cards destined to collapse.
