December 2nd

Well you may ask so what? It is important to us here though as it is the anniversary of the shooting of Alex Grigoropoulos. http://newsfromzoos.blogspot.com/2008/12/black-and-burberry.html On this day students will probably protest and there will be mayhem in downtown Athens. Or maybe not. Things are always so volatile and liquid here. Imagine we have an intern government with a non-elected Prime Minister and by non-elected I mean not even a member of parliament. We have elections set for sometime in February but probably wont see any for another year. We have decisions being made for us somewhere in Europe by politicians and bankers who will simply deal with Athens as a defacto government that is obliged to sign anything they come up with. Here we sit leaderless and voiceless in the midst of a junta-occupation simply enforced by economic measures. This will not last very long though. This is the homeland of democracy and democracy will return to it. However things aren't looking up right now... Oh and we don't get anymore loans from the IMF until we start signing any and all proposals put forth. An economic standstill. I hope it lasts.
