Can’t stop the “free” stuff now… they’re addicted to the welfare state. Yikes!
…and we’re against them, and we’ll fight them.”
Sounds like their real fight is against reality.

I can only offer my usual snide comments on the imminent Greek implosion. Victor Davis Hanson delivers a much more insightful analysis, pointing out the troubling similarities between that nation and his own state of California; Civilization in Reverse:
The average Californian, like the average Greek, forgot that civilization is fragile. Its continuance requires respect for the law, tough-minded education, collective thrift, private investment, individual self-reliance, and common codes of behavior and civility — and exempts no one from those rules. Such knowledge and patterns of civilized behavior, slowly accrued over centuries, can be lost in a single generation.
A keen visitor to Athens — or Los Angeles — during the last decade not only could have seen that things were not quite right, but also could have concluded that they could not go on as they were. And so they are not.
Great article ~ “…Our rendezvous with reality.” Sobering implications.
