This kinda grew on me as it went along.

Love and tolerance for all beings is best practiced in the company of frequently scheduled reality checks, as in cocoa and Kumbaya are rather groovy, but we're not playing with nice people all the time in the real world.

Merry Christmas.

And so it's come to this.

From the article: That�s where we are today. Greece drowning in debt, its democracy broken, and despite fighting the Nazis in World War Two, and taking back democracy from a fascist junta in 1974�"in the end, it was the EU and the Western banks that put a guy like Makis �oeHammer” Voridis, the guy who patrolled his law school with a makeshift ax, in power, administering banker-pain.

The implications of the EU and bankers forcing Greece, the birthplace of democracy, to cancel a popular plebiscite as �oeirresponsible,” forcing instead an austerity regime composed partly of neo-Nazis fascists to administer more �oepain”�"is something that should frighten the shit out of everyone. Because like it or not, we�re all in the cross-hairs of the same banking interests, and we�re all going to face it again and again. Greece just happens to be the first in line.
