7000 years of human endeavour/civilisation.
The world collectively owes a huge debt ( not monetary ) to the Greek peoples. Throughout history the Greeks have been at the forefront of innovation, laying the foundations of civilisation :- the alphabet (adapted from the Phoenicians I know, but revised with modern letters and read from left to right). Democracy, education, some brilliant minds:- Euclid, Archimedes, Pythagoras and quite a few others.
Who knows they might surprise everyone and pull off a miracle. What they need now is a focus. This is just the ramblings of an armchair politician, but would the Greek Royal Family being re-established ( self supporting of course ) be a good idea do you think? From what I could find out they were deposed after a dodgey vote.
I'm sure they're deeply patriotic and all the European Royal families are closely related. There could be a good network of pro greek influence there
with their respective governments.
I've heard of some small positive developments amongst the greek populace already, doctors and dentists offering their service for free.
The U.N. should get off it's backside and actively assist Greece.
I know there's possible ramifications if Greece is treated specially, other countries jumping up and down and going "me too, me too".
I know I'm an old bastard with possibly naïve ideas and the world is now a selfish negative place, but I honestly hope the world community comes together on this one. To not do anything and confine any possible "solutions" in terms of economic rational is so amoral.
We're all brothers after all.
Warning some colourful language in the videoclip, nothing too bad though.
