The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

Problem is the assertion, probably true, that the loan takers are idiots.
What really happens is that there is no responsbility for those actually in power to take those loans in the name of the nation, as the system works today.
Other problem is that the general populace is heap of fucking morons, and they are happy to vote for whatever psychopat shows up in the TV and papers.
Grece is ultimately a failure of democracy. Malevolent people got to power, probably a lot of corruption happened before loans and contracts were signed, and now the actual people that voted for them are punished.
Normally, I vould reyoice over others misery, however I am not a pedo, and not to happy about the misery and prostitution of the youg generation that is going to follow in the wake of this crisis...
