I was born and raised in Athens. As a journalist on the ground yesterday, one of the country's darkest days in its post-junta history, I had to answer those questions. But I won't here: I write this as an Athenian, not a journalist. ... I spoke to a young municipal policewoman in her late 20s on Stadiou Street, a big road leading to Syntagma. She warned me to not go to the square. She broke down in tears and asked: "What have we done to each other?" ... I am certain that Syntagma is the locus of the first advanced-democracy revolution we have ever seen. It is amorphous, apolitical, ill-guided at times and unguided mostly. It is painful and destructive, as all revolutions have been, and it's only just beginning.

* Continue to watch the current bankster led pillage of our societies -- right down to their deaths,
or
* Take down this evil system and insist on better government. This will require dealing with the baksters and their servants. They should be happy if they receive more mercy than they have shown. As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
