Its amazing that this is the place where “civilization” began as we know it. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle and other great Greeks must be rolling in their grave. What do these people not understand about being broke. Complain all you want, it only makes things worse.

Coming to a city near you sooner than you expect!!!!

Let us not forget that Socrates was executed for criticizing the government of Athens for spending money that they didn't have. I think he would have no problem understanding the situation they face now.

yep, this is the civilization that executed Socrates as a dissident

and probably has a lot of descendants of the liberals who thought it was a good idea to tear down the walls of Troy and bring in that nice big wooden horse the Greeks left as a goodwill gift (hey, whoever won that argument was no conservative)
