A GREEK TRAGEDY
As long ago as 2,400 years approximately Plato refused to follow family political tradition, judging the then society and it’s ruling classes as weak, corrupt and decadent, he was also pissed off that his friend Socrates had been sentenced to death. He set himself the task of creating the perfect society (on paper at least) we know it as Utopia, but, like most ideologies do not take into consideration the essence of human nature, i.e., preservation and expansion of territory by force or cunningness in order to improve the quality of life of the few at the expense of the many.
Today the majority of Greek citizens are discovering once again the realities of what having a weak and corrupt government really means. They are staring at an uncertain future, full of hardship, misery and uncertainty some will actually die a violent death as they will try to ask questions of a government with no answers.
A Real Greek Tragedy with the only difference being that the script is written by men in grey suits operating from Wall Street.
Greece today is actually the Trojan horse of Europe; any attempt to bring it on line will cause disastrous economic consequences to the community as a whole.
