A New Chapter (at the end of the world)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athenian_democracy

Greece has officially joined the party for change this month by declaring bankruptcy and asking us for debt forgiveness, which is exactly what one of our oldest and most evolved societies should do. Ancient Greece, anyone? Yeah, that's what I thought. 

Why do they need to honor our overblown debt system, with it's petty bureaucrats and rampant corruption? For what, exactly?! Providing a template the world over for a true democracy? Or is it the concept of "no taxation without representation" that you find so insulting?! Maybe Senators piss you off because they're smarter than you, but who really cares anymore? Stuff it, wanker. 

We've had enough of the bullshit, hate, and lies. Go bankrupt yourself, and instead of finding fool's gold at the end of the it, you may find yourself among the righteous, bad publicity excluded. Hey, I feel like getting a gyro from the diner here, with extra tzatziki* sauce on the side, and a heap of freshly cooked french fries! 

Now do your homework, and maybe you can join me there sometime. Maybe.
