Decoupling Greece
Most of the Experts seem to agree that EU is going to let Greece cut loose from the rigidly coupled monetary monstrosity.
My first thought was "Good, by fucking god! The others will then see that independence is POSSIBLE!"
But then I thought specifically about Greece. Its gov't has been incompetent through most of modern history, and shows no signs of competence now. After independence it will most likely dissolve into chaos. Independence won't do Greece any good.
The EU dictators will then be able to point to Greece as a "moral" lesson when other countries try to assert any small scrap of independent thinking.
"See what happened to Greece? You don't want that to happen to you! Just close your mouth and open your ass."
And that's why the EU dictators are willing to let Greece depart. ¶ 3:13 AM
