 I think the Greeks will have to get off their big fat bottoms and go to work instead of expecting handouts all day long for doing nothing

 The Greeks are wonderful people but a yes is only option. Going back to Drachma will mean that they might as well use US Confederate money.

It is time for the Greeks to make a decision on how they want to live their lives. They have held the international order hostage for too long. Retirement at age 52??

    Its never good to make people rely too much on someone else. leave the euro and get ready to take responsibility for yourself. Oh, and get used to pay your taxes.

    How much has the Greek standard of living exceeded their productivity since they joined the Euro?

    I fear they are pretty much hosed either way.

    I could not imagine something that is 2.3% of your economy holding this much sway over any other enterprise.....let the Greeks go about their way...take the money you would have thrown down the Marxist rat hole and prop up Spain & Portugal & Ireland if you must.

 That same IMF that is looking out for you're intrest was headed by D Rumsfeld. How did that work out for USA

    I have spent 2 of the past 3 weeks traveling in Germany, France, Belgium and Finland. The common folks of Europe are ready to kiss the Greeks off, take their financial haircuts and get on with their lives. In the long run, Grexit will mean disaster to the Greeks and very little to the EU. In truth, the only folks in the EU concerned about Grexit, are mostly politicians concerned about the political ramifications of a country opting out. This runs against the illusion they have been selling for years, that European Union membership is a one-way ticket; non refundable.

    Do we want to babysit Greece and do they want us to be babysat? oxi is the only way forward. Greeks will be able to choose their own path, however difficult that may be.

 Exactly what leverage do the Greeks have that they can afford to be so arrogant? They are economically and politically irrelevant but can't seem to get that fact through they tiny little brains.
    Kick'em out of the Euro and let's get on with life.

    I wonder if "Yes" voters might not be a bit shy about saying so to pollsters -- much like conservative voters in the UK's last election?

Let the German public vote if they want to send even another cent to bailout Greece.

 The EU EUnuchs have really done a superb job of screwing the pooch - the people other than Greeks, whom I view as PARASITES, feasting upon the WORK and SACRAFICE of the EU citizens. Maybe the EU citizens will FIRE the EU EUnuchs? Nah.....too complacent, like the Americans.
