Isn't there something unpleasantly ironic about the riots in Greece?

It was the Greeks, most notably Aristotle, who invented the method of logic, which in turn allowed human reasoning to become a powerful tool that helped our species to quickly move to the proverbial next level.

The modern Greeks have indulged themselves with other people’s money for so long, that now it is gone and then some. They can’t pay their bills. And their EU partners are reluctant to spot them a loan unless they prove they can learn to live with less.

So you would think that the Greeks of all people would logically figure out that they are going to have to work more, and eat and sleep less.

Instead, they are rioting, like spoiled over indulged children throwing a tantrum.

Isn’t that sort of ironic? Or worse, a sort of a sad end to the people who bult the foundations of Western Civilization?

Aside-What will Americans, the generations- later grandchildren of Classical Civilization, do if or when we face the same music. Will we put on a more brave face, or indulge in the same denial and disgrace?
