Actually, I think it WILL be OK, at least for the majority
of the greeks.
The vast majority of greeks have family land. It may not be near the cities, but it's out there. Most of them DO have a village to go back to, and they have 300 days of sunshine a year. I would LOVE to end up on a little plot of land in Greece and farm for my livelyhood. |

And here's a quote that seems to exemplify it
http://www.guardian....ral?newsfeed=true
It is poor down here on the Med - most are poor - education is in the 50s - very traditional - concepts like recycling, vegetarianism, animal rights, for God's sake women's rights - have not yet touched the surface of life here - north Europe is another world - we have fruit, vege, our hens and pig - we have our own olives, vines - we will get by - what have you got? We are poor country - rich people - you are rich country - poor people - You only see the holiday resort - the quick fix sun lounger and cheap drink, cheap flight - Angela I hope you do ok but leave us alone - we will be better off without you |
There's a crisis in the Greek economy: Needs moar austerity.
