There is a rising understanding in the population that these people got off too light (divide et impera?).<br />The one with the EU grant will NOT fly, ALL Greeks benefit from it, they know it, they wish it to continue. You would find recruitment of young Greeks very difficult; they would be pariahs even in their own families. They would "work against Greeks" for the "banksters"? They would have to be sure that the system breaks down and is replaced with an honest one within a few years. They are not sure that change will come, they are still in denial. For many Greeks the "light at the end of the tunnel" is when EU will start transfering money that can keep them in the lifestyle they have grown accustomed to. That is also why they live off the "fat" as you call it, no reason to change lifestyle, this is a temporary thing, soon it will be business as usual. Scary yes? To me it is, because as long as denial is here, nowbody will claim ownership for any of the programs, and therefore there will be no real progress.<br />PS. You could allways put these young Greeks who are "ratting" on their own, in something like the American witness protection program.<br /><br />Lennard Schorlemmer Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
