So much in life has been dumbed down, so much in life is being taken over, government wants to be responsible for much in our lives....they want us to be thick, because thick people do not question...they just follow where-ever the govt wants to lead...not for me. I have always asked the questions....been gobby...especially if I thought someone was trying to get one over on me.
As for the economic fallout....everyone needs to be worried....governments, banks, financial institutions are gambling with our money....future pensions.

Reminds me of something from Shakespeare: "He thinks too much; such men are dangerous." Govts. like to have voters that can't think; or, are too busy watching "reality" tv that they don't have time to think.
On the bright side, for those of us fortunate enough to live in the Great White North, the fallout from the Euro crisis will not affect Canada all that badly. We went through the last recession with hardly any damage to our economy. Most of us didn't even notice it. And it will probably be the same the next time.
