I just printed the 110 page document on some paper from a clear-cut forest when I read this on page 2:
"This document is printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper."
Oh well, that's one bell I can't unring now.

Well, here it comes. Greece is leading the way of the future. That's what happens when the union runs the country. Did you know that while the cost of our schools keeps going up, they number of teachers has been declining, replaced by administrators and union leaders? The same is happening in the Barcelona Plan. Portland is right behind with our failing bonds and ignorant, car salesmen (and women) politicians. I am voting for people from the real world, not surreal world politicians. PS the market fall is because Wall Street knows that the Fed is holding Europe up with our money. It is slipping and when it goes it will start an avalanche. Can anyone say Bank Holiday"

I have never heard of a fiscally conservative Socialist or a successful "Green Economy", it is held up with government funding until it breaks everyone. like Spain.

A friend of mine keeps a $100,000,000.00 dollar bank note from Nigeria on his desk these days.
It is worth about 6 cents (USD) right now.
