Rumors of intelligent life? EDIT: No.
From UK Guardian:Fears that Europe's sovereign debt crisis was spiralling out of control have intensified as political chaos in Athens and Rome, and looming recession, created panic on world markets.
Reports emerging from Brussels said that Germany and France had begun preliminary talks on a break-up of the eurozone, amid fears that Italy will be too big to rescue.
Well now! First sign of intelligent life on Earth since 1989.
Never thought it would happen, but if it does I'll be deliriously happy to eat several thousand words, seasoned with crow, in a hat sandwich!

Later: Nope, rumor proved unfounded. Instead of breaking up or decoupling, EU has consolidated its tyranny as always. Only one direction is possible. No error correction, no reverse gear, no brakes. Only continue accelerating ever faster into Hell.
Specifically, Italy and Greece have been blackmailed into taking "economists" as their Herods. "Economists" are consiglieri who abjectly and meekly serve the Goldman Mafia.
So I won't need to eat my words, crow or hat, but that's only a microscopic consolation as the Goldman tyranny continues to gobble up Western civilization without hindrance or pause.
The only saving grace is that other parts of the world have
retained or regained their sanity. EU and Anglosphere commit grim suicide while Russia, India, Brazil, and China hold onto their rational self-interest, and the Arab world relearns the skills of sovereign and decoupled nationality.
