Syriza agreed to cut its own throat. The creditors turned down that agreement on grounds that the razor had the wrong logo. Perhaps if the Greek negotiating team had traveled in rowboats, slept in tents and scavenged meals out of garbage cans that touching show of humility would have resulted in the creditors taking "yes" for an answer. > > > _______________________________________________ > pen-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l > -- Facebook: Gar Lipow Twitter: GarLipow Solving the Climate Crisis web page: SolvingTheClimateCrisis.com Grist Blog: http://grist.org/author/gar-lipow/ Online technical reference: http://www.nohairshirts.com
