Yeah Robert, but there is a lot more than pina coladas, like free education for all, almost free medical care for all, pretty good transportation no matter where in the boonies you live, etc. etc. Consider that in the last 5 years i spent $0 on medical care even though I went to the hospital 4 times... and I can have an open heart surgury without having to sell the house, and one can send 4 kids to the university for about the cost of the books which lately with the internet is not even needed. All that are benefits, now if we could find honest politicians to stop stealing that would be great.

It's really a different world (politically) here, too much to analyze and explain in here. The bottom line is, we as Greeks:  (a little self psychoanalysis)

1 We bitch about everything all the time, cuz the squeaky wheel gets the oil.

2 We'll steal the government every chance we get, cuz they steal from us too.

3 We agree we need to get our house in order, pay our taxes, become law abiding citizens etc, and we do not do it because others didn't.

Good news is that the younger people seem to be different, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
