Europe and Greece

I can't hold my tongue any longer on this issue. For months now, we've had to put up with this carousel, Greece in - Greece out. I mean, does Europe not have any sense of dignity left?! What sort of union is it, if people can be drawn in and kicked out whenever someone else pleases. Greece has big responsibilities and has made great errors, indeed, but European govenors have just the same, where were they when Greek politicians squandered European money in every direction. Why is there no control on how European money is spent by single states? Greece has great responsibilities and European Institutions are nonexistent. Furthermore, why is it that when we are talking of European Union all we keep hearing is Germany, Germany, Germany, France, Germany, Germany! What's this? I would like to introduce a sharp comment now, but I shall withhold it and leave it to everyone's imagination. If there is to be a Union, then each State should have the same weight and recognition, in fact, it is about time to take a major decision. If the European Union is to exist, then it should become like the USA, a union of federal states under a central government. It is the only way forward. I'm a convinced European, and I sincerely hope for this to happen. But if not, then the Union is in deep trouble because, frankly, among the rest, I believe southern states should stop bearing to be treated by northern states as the poor naughty cousins, that should not be taken too seriously because they don't know how to do their homework too well, if this is to carry on, then tell them to go bathe with the seals and lets go our separate ways. But remember first classers, that western civilization was born here, and we still have that spark of geniality that keeps us on the roof of the world, and that liveliness that is given by beauty, sunshine, exquisite cuisine, and being the frontier between the west, the east and the south. I think there's enough in that to deserve plenty of respect!
I want a European Union where there's no space for the selfishness of single states, where each state is put into the situation to achieve its full potential thus contributing to the welfare of the whole union. I want a European Union where the emphasis is on society and people and not on speculation, particular financial interests, banks, lobbies and so on.
I find it disgraceful that European Union politicians should sit and talk about cancelling third world debts and then reduce one of their member states into a third wold country itself. Because this is what is happening with Greece, people are on their knees, what else can they give to the dratted burocrats? Of course they must pay their debts, but they must be spread in such a way that the population shouldn't suffer anymore hardship.
The bottom line is:
HAIL TO A TRUE AND NEW EUROPEAN UNION!
TO HELL WITH USELESS, INCAPABLE, SELFISH, COLD BLOODED, SPECULATING BUROCRATS!

Rights and Duties

Mr Marchionne is helping to take this country back to the '800s, his behaviour lately resembles closely that of a few dictators that are best not be spoken out loudly, he shows not the least respect for people and thinks so highly of himself as to expect to have the stature for judging people on superficial personal information rather than based on the quality of the work they produce (if anything, only THAT is what he could possibly be called upon to judge). He's workers should have no brain to express opinions, they should only have hands and legs to produce and obey, in all this, rights are absolutely out of the question. Whatever he chooses to pay you, you should devoutly be thankful for, no matter how many hours he tells you you have to work, you should devoutly be thankful for, no matter how many promises and agreements he chooses to break, you should devoutly bow your head and pretend nothing happened. Does he think to be God or what? I personally cannot suffer God for such behaviour, think about a small insignificant piece of walking flesh tossed in the Universe such as Mr Marchionne!
I would like to remind this sad gentleman and his puppet boss Mr Elkann that they are debtors to all Italians of a nice little capital our passed governments have given to FIAT, without which they would be bosses of nothing because that company would be dead and buried many years ago, so they owe people in this country a good deal of respect!
I would also like to remind them that if there are no rights there are no duties either, which in my humble opinion, could land us all in a rather nasty predicament...
Finally a thought for all my fellow workers: if each one of us would stop working for even just 1 penny less than what we are really worth, those few thousands fat arses would stop wallowing in gold on the skin and bones of billions of us (including poor children!!).
