Isnt the entire greek government paralysed now with the govt offices occupied? I think the whole of Europe will see massive revolutions and strikes before this is all over. One side wants their freebies, the other side can't give it. Its just going to be a shitstorm.
This is the inevitable outcome of a broken system. Politicians make promises that are impossible to keep and the working class falls complacent to a system that makes absolutely no economic sense. Jobs for life, pensions that can never be met, etc, etc... Fingers can be pointed in all directions.
Suicidal? It takes courage to destroy yourself, but it is relatively easy to destroy the one who created you.
Answer: hold them to their promises. I promise you xxx You promise me yyy delivered? Hmm... Transaction.

Step 1.) cut all socialist payoff money to Greece Step 2.) debar Greece from the EU Step 3.) order some shorts, if thereto decides to make a temporary drop (but given Greece is like the fat kid demanding more ice cream being carried by the rest of Europe, Greece being quarantined would BENEfIT the Europeans Step 4.) get popcorn, some barbecue chips and watch Greece's bullshit government disappear like jimmy Hoffa, and the land of socialist ****heads turn into a nomansland for the rest of the world to see... Let them duke it out and give themselves what they truly deserve Step 4.5.) air drop teachers unions into Greece Step 5.) buy some spy calls!
Chris Matthews ended his msnbc show today comparing the OWS protesters to the East Germans who were good communists and played by the rules until 1% had all the wealth in East Germany and then they revolted and knocked down the wall.
Might want to send that to CNN, Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, daytime talk shows, Congress, President, Judicial, all military branches, etc.
I raised three daughters but I suppose I'm still a little sexist. It would be a better protest if it was all men. How's a guy going to think what to do when a woman is screaming hysterically for no reason? Man, it's nerve wracking, and just adds to the confusion. It's inbred. In the old days, when a woman was out alone and saw a lion she would scream loudly to let the village know where the threat was. But that's exactly why they never took women out with them when they were hunting.
This was my first thought when I saw the video where balony peppered sprayed the girls. Imo, there wasn't any other way to calm them down, they were a danger to themselves and others.
