Why Grece should be kicked out of the EU - Greek Opposition Leader Opposes Use Of EU-IMF Plan (complete lack of responsibility - personal interests trumps everything) ATHENS (Dow Jones)--The head of the Greek opposition New Democracy party opposes the use of a European-led bailout package for Greece, warning that further austerity measures would severely damage the economy, state-owned NET television reports Sunday. "Neither the economy, nor society, will stand new measures," New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras said in a speech to party officials, part of which was televised. His remarks come just hours ahead of a closely watched conference call of finance ministers from the 16 countries that use the euro, aimed at finalizing the details of an aid plan for Greece. Euro-zone countries last month agreed that, if needed, they would give Greece a series of loans in concert with an International Monetary Fund package. Greece's borrowing costs have soared after investors dumped Greek bonds in a series of volatile trading sessions last week. The government, which plans to tap financial markets with a EUR1.2 billion T-bill auction this Tuesday, hopes investor jitters will be calmed once details of the aid package emerge, and as Greece moves to fully implement its three-year reform and austerity program. Samaras criticized the government for moving too slowly to address the country's economic crisis. "Never in the past has any Greek government succeeding in making so many blunders, in such a short period of time and for such nonsense reasons," Samaras said. -By Alkman Granitsas, Dow Jones Newswires

That's common across animals and anything with eyes. Predators have eyes in front for precision hunting, victims have eyes at the sides and all around. Spiders - eyes at front. Flies - eyes all around. Praying mantis eyes at front. Wasps - I was going to say compound eyes, [they get eaten by praying manti, birds and spiders] but thought that odd as they are predators too. Sure enough, they have both kinds of eyes: < In addition to their compound eyes, wasps also have several simple eyes known as ocelli. These are typically arranged in a triangular formation just forward of an area of the head known as the vertex. > Tigers - eyes front. Gazelle - eyes to the side. Humans - eyes front. That's why predator mammals are circumspect about catching people and approach the matter with caution. They see the front-facing eyes and figure that's for a reason and what's with standing on two legs and what the heck is that big thing they are holding in their paws? Crocodiles are too stupid to care and just eat while the eating is good, being turned into handbags for their trouble. Humans are like wasps - simple eyes for looking for opportunities on the screen, and compound eyes located everywhere looking in all directions, feeding data into cyberspace [increasingly part of our brain]. That's why mobile cyberspace is such a vast investment opportunity. People don't want to leave their brain behind when they go somewhere. People like to have their brains handy at all times. Mqurice
