In reply to the discussion: Weekend Economists Lost in Space (and Time) May 11-13, 2012 [View all]"It was the main political parties of Pasok and New Democracy who opened the parliament's door to rightwing extremism. Their austerity frenzy not only destroyed the main pillars of Greek society but also legitimised deeply undemocratic procedures. The constitution was circumvented several times to allow for non-elected officials to implement policies limiting workers' rights."
And the same asinine policies with the same predictable results are going on closer to home.
If there is a beneficent god/dess, s/he will smite down the Predator Drone and his minions before the country goes through hell in the handbasket he's been carefully constructing.
