I am truly not a fan of economic disaster and hardship. If the Greeks say no to the Euro, there will be problems, but, all freedom starts with problems. Let's face it, the "Markets' have been the dominant force and power in world politics for the past 100 years. Their power is supreme and governments do their bidding. They play games with our lives because they can, and because we make them rich. Even now, as the EU is on the brink of economic collapse, they are downgrading bonds and causing even more hardship. But what do they care, they are rich and continue to be so, unless, we say no.
If Greece tells the Markets to pound sand, other may do so, also. Yes, we can build a new economic system that has the goal of helping all, not just the few. Who cares if we use post it notes or fancy paper for currency, it is simply a matter of what we agree it is worth. We don't need banks and Wall Street to dictate value to us. So, as discussed in the Trilogy, this is a Time of Choosing. It is my hope that the Greeks, who started western political democracy, will not launch economic democracy in a movement that will sweep across the planet, while we still have one!
