    You know, it does appear to be beyond repair. Whatever they do to prop-up this rotten system will only last for a short while - and I think they know it. It is interesting that no one within their ranks even seems to be thinking about a new approach. They have nothing, as Anax has said before. They got no ideas, no plans, no contingencies, nothing. Just the same old, same old, and it is falling apart everywhere, all over the world. They can start killing folks off - which they are both good at and is their only remaining option - but they may have waited too late...

    As I said in the other thread, I liked to shit when I heard this on the radio. From political suicide to double political suicide in 48 hours, gotta be a record. Makes Kaiser WillieII look like Bismark. Maximilian I of Mexico had better sense. Opportunism jumps the shark.

    Because that would just be Greece skipping out on her "obligations".

    And that brings up the question: Who is Greece, anyway?
