Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Greeks Send a Message: No More Austerity

Greek voters have sent a clear message to political and financial elites: No more ausetery. The people of Greece are tired of a never-ending economic depression, including stagnating wages, out-right job losses, and cuts to social benefits. The vote should be seen as an advance for the country. While there is temporary paralysis, if one wants to call it that, the out-come can potentially be superior to riots in the streets and continued draconian austerity. See the referenced on-line article below for more information. It is wonderful to see the country which was the cradle of democracy, again leading the way in progressive thought and action! http://socialistworker.org/2012/05/09/political-earthquake-in-greece
