Here is another 'bullshit answer" for you ...

If the shit ever hits the fans we (the world) will all go down together -- that is why the US debt is a world wide concern and why we can finance our largess. I just spent a week in Athens, Greece -- the US is hardly as economically fucked up as Greece. However, the social inequity there is indeed a harbinger of the future that the American people should do something about here.

Seen defacing an expensive marble faced home on the road leading to the Acropolis. I though it better not to take pictures of the riot police I saw blocking main roads and preventing protesters from using the Metro to circumvent the road blockades. This happened both week-ends while I was there ...



The protesters don't have loaded guns in Greece ....
