I concur.<br /><br />In economics it sometimes happens that one person borrows, and another one gets evicted for not paying it back.<br /><br />Other than that: remember that your Good Deed, no matter how unworthy its recipient, will be paid back to you in good karma and fewer millennia in Purgatory. I hail a gentle soul!<br /><br />Alfred.Alfred B.

You are a bit of a leftwing bigot.Much as I like you and respect your intelligence.Sorry to say.<br />Such demagoguery as you use about Greece, and worse: about the third world in the seventies.<br /> I am completely ignorant of economics beyond the banal notion that everybody who asks for money should give it back-and I have had a very nasty experience with a polish woman pilgrim whom I met briefly on the Camino de Santiago and months later phoned me in great distress asking for a large amount of money and I was foolish enough to lend her a proportion of it, a large sum for my modest income, as she offered to pay back soon and I have never got a reply from her since by mail or phone- I feel strongly therefore at the moment on the issue of debts unpaid. And if you told me that she was living in the streets of Paris and eating out of garbage bins my reserve of compassion would be short indeed!<br />¿Do the greeks owe money? They should pay it back.Obvious.<br />And, by the way, why don´t you write instead of about spanish, greeks or germans, about the faults of your own country, and specially, of your coreligionist leftwingers, like in this ugly story:<br />?http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2006/05/dutch_courage.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
