These people are rioting in the street. They are being beaten by riot police. They fight every day to maintain their way of life...
(what a powerful image. I'm assuming the girl is his daughter or grand-daughter )
But, you see, they already have democracy. They vote for their leaders, have the right to run for office themselves and have a functioning legal system.
They are ripping their country apart because...
Their government has simply run out of money and now they are forced to reduce the "entitlements" (free shit) that they give to the citizens. They borrowed for years and years and now the creditors are knocking at the door.
Here's what I want you to do...I want you to try and image what would happen if the US government announced that it was forced to cut food stamps, housing assistance, welfare, social security, etc by, say, 25%.
You think Americans would man up and do what had to be done, or do you think there would be rioting and looting in every fucking city in the country?
Just another reason to stock up with ammo if you ask me.

The Eurozone debt "crisis" is nothing but another credit cycle, in which debt expands beyond the carrying capacity of consumers and economies. Debt then contracts as uncollectable debt is written down; borrowers go bankrupt and their remaining assets are auctioned off (if they put up collateral; if not, then tough luck, lenders, you blew it and will have to suck the entire loss). Insolvent lenders are also declared bankrupt and dissolved.
There is absolutely nothing unusual about this cycle. Impaired debt is renounced and the system is purged of bad debt. Once the economy has been cleared of garbage, so to speak, then everyone can stop pretending and start dealing with reality. Businesses will be able to start up in a transparent and open market.
The world does not end. Life goes on. We were threatened and bullied in 2008 that the insolvency of the U.S. financial sector would trigger the end of civilization, but it was just another lie: life goes on.
The Greek people were spoiled rotten. They were allowed to retire at age 50, then given all kinds of free shit. So now when their government wants them to put them in line with other civilized countries they burn other peoples cars.
