TJ, the Greeks invented democracy [so they say though surely people have been counting how many are on each side since chimpoid days] so surely they are not going to run into trouble. At this stage, I'd rather have gold stored in Hong Kong with the PLA just around the corner and preferably right outside than have it stored in the USA or downtown Auckland in an ASB Bank safety deposit box. But that is subject to change without notice. Flexibility is important at times of interregna. Now I shall have to learn why Greece might be in trouble and more so than Iceland. Presumably it is related to debt, default and lack of income than any threat from Turkey over Cyprus or something. Meanwhile, I am off to try out the new road north,http://images.tvnz.co.nz/tvnz_images/news2009/transport/northern_tunnels_2.jpg funded by taxation on huge amounts of money borrowed from Japan via uridashi and used to inflate the price of houses in New Zealand. When NZ goes belly up, at least Japan won't be able to take the tunnels and motorway away. I shall figure out Greece later. Mqurice

TJ, I don't understand your obsession with the country of my birth. We should be concentrating on the important countries and events in this collapse, rather than denigrating each other's tiny countries of origin to needle each other. You don't see me or anybody else in the thread, for example, talking about your country of birth and its murderous culture, which apparently is getting completely out of hand. caribbeannetnews.com One thing you can say about Greece: they try to avoid killing people. Not a single person lost his life during the much reported riots, other than the one person that was originally killed by the police, which caused the riots. Compare this to, say, what happened in Tibet.
