Greece: tsipras. greek economic disaster.  greek revolution (news).  greece full catastrophe (book).


hamilton nolan gwkr posts (to dlww), esp re 'all debt is negotiable' greece. 

* All Debt Is Negotiable -by Hamilton Nolan | Any moral discussion of Greece’s debt must contend with the question of how much average citizens—who will do the real suffering under austerity—are responsible for the economic mistakes of their leaders.
Thms Pikkety in Die Zeit: “Europe was founded on debt forgiveness and investment in the future. Not on the idea of endless penance. We need to remember this.”
// read cmmts ..
-The Greeks are reminding the ECB, IMF and everyone else that: “If you owe the bank $100 that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.” J. Paul Getty
 -In 1953, 60% of Germany's debt was just plain Canceled. Canceled! The threat was that keeping the debt alive would result in the same sort of radical regime that gave rise to Hitler: Erase our Debts, or the Fourth Reich will Conquer You! 
-As I think you can see from the comments below, HamNo, almost everyone DOES see it as a moral issue—but, unfortunately, more along the “Greeks are all lazy scum who have too much social welfare” king of moral issue. I particularly like the comment from the guy thinks that somehow Greek’s debt is worse because it was not accumulated in a war conducted by them on other civilized nations.

 “Three Hidden Reasons Why Brands Struggle with Authenticity.”
All three reasons are “Brands are illusory constructs built upon a foundation of cynicism for whom the concept of ‘authenticity’ is wholly nonsensical” but it doesn’t say that in Ad Age for some reason.

"Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that," Perry said. "I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."
"I look at the homosexual issue the same way [as I look at alcoholism, just one indication that non-Texan residents of the United States of America would be shocked to learn the true depths of my ignorance on basic social and scientific issues]," said Perry, one of our nation's foremost morons. "[I hope you like the fact that I gave this answer in San Francisco. You like that? My backwards, simplistic right-wing idiocy on policy is matched only by lack of political acumen.]"
