Rachel on Greece...

My girl Rachel Lucas is back blogging (at last!) from her new home in Italy.  Here she makes some observations about recent events in Greece:
“Europe’s voters don’t know they’re committing suicide — or don’t care.”

Post title is about yesterday’s French and Greek national elections and is a quote from Arthur Herman at NRO. I can’t figure out which it is, either, even though I live in Europe. My main impression is more along the lines of, they know they’re being accused of committing economic suicide, but they just don’t believe it and don’t see it that way. It’s not really ignorance or lack of giving a shit, it’s denial.

Which is exactly what I think is also happening in America, a few years behind schedule but right on pace to catch up.

Anyway, this is all I’ve been reading about all day so here is my depressing Monday post that is really just a collection of links and quotes. You’re welcome.
