What's Wrong With These People?

Greece and its government seem to espouse a kind of "left-wing" lax-ism which is unique in that it is the glorification of absurdity :

a love for the loser & the criminal seen as the underdog (losers, criminals & sundry are checked for the reasons underpinning & thereby their deviance and thereby absolving their crimes???!!); veneration of the lowest standard and meritocracy is vilified ("leading", higher calibre schools have been abolished); the rule of law is subordinate to the interests of pressure groups (civil servants pay less tax, PPC employees get different pay levels, etc, etc); the "interests of the workers" primes over other considerations according to the government -- even if there are very few blue collar workers in Greece (12% of work / unemployed force); foreign investment is pursued verbally but private operation is discouraged (restrictive labour law and operating licensing, high fines and expensive social security, many unexpected "nuisance taxes", etc; planned investments by Siemens, Benz, TVX Gold, wind energy group, etc, were initially or definitively repelled: "we don't want investment");

And, at the end of the day, "politically correct" in a country that officially endorses extremist left-wing while condemning extremist right wing (such as the Golden Dawn party -- which, btw is the runner up in recent elections) and teaming up with a right wing naysayer, a country which disallows business but does not touch civil servants found guilty of criminal neglect or appropriation of funds... etc etc means, simply:
*anyone can run for elections (if they pay of course), extremist, terrorist, psychopath and sundry and get elected;
*any absurdity goes, especially if the absurdity goes against common practise.



It is amazing that a right-left wing coalition of thwarted adolescents continues to hoodwink the population -- or at least 60% who did not vote for them with myths about conspiracy to overthrow the government, coups planned by bankers, dark secrets etc. A minister who visibly spends his time travelling and speaking and drinking; another who frees a terrorist sentenced with a life sentence "for humanitarian reasons" (how about the victims' humanitarian rights) and because he is no longer a threat because he is near-blind (so is another minister; we assume that the minister is near-useless in his position as well); yet another who abolishes selection criteria in academia because that promotes inequality...

Amazingly,  amongst the majority are parties composed of normal people such as the Potami (river; where did they find that name?)

Hopefully one day soon, 60% of Greeks who did not vote for the present government will snap out of their comma and realise the ridicule before the global community turns away in disgust.

The Greek Government's Humanitarianism -- hopefully not criminal.

Whether Greece's government officials have a point in what they have been doing lately (opening the borders to rogue immigration without any plan to contain & support the people, demanding for a bail-out plan with any plan, sinking the economy further just to see how low it can reach...) or they just feel like being contrarian, the disctinction no longer seem relevant.

Now, Greece's government came up with a new law that frees criminals for humanistic reasons.In so doing, Greece's government is freeing among other, killers, terrorists, murderers and sundry. One of these is a murderer with terrorist inclinations --basically a serial killer-- called Xiros who has been found guilty of a number of murders.


Interestingly, this very "humanistic' law thinks of the perpetrator; the victims seem to have dropped off the equation. No-one mentions these; "victims -- what's that" some of Greece's current ruling politicians seem to be saying? After all, does a victim vote? No. So, forget the victims.


It puts out a clear message for all to see: go right ahead killing, and if you're caught roll over and play sick. At the end of a decade or so, you'll be out. (Hey it's better than nothing!)



When the son of one of Xiros' victims asked why the government was liberating his father's murderer the government official (a woman) responded "well, you (i.e. the political party his father belonged-obviously not hers) are responsible for other..."

????!!!!



The sheer disrespect & cynicism boggles the mind!
Even Hitler had not come up such a ! Maybe Stalin had, I'm not sure. With one sweep of her broom, the woman judged past events as criminal, chose the perpetrator in an eye-blink, and set the vendetta without blinking! One crime deserves the other and your father was a criminal????
And justifies the killing of others.
Is this her take on the hollywood goldie "You kill one of ours we kill two of yours..."? If so, is the criminal "one of theirs"???

But then, Hitler didn't actually have many terrorists who killed diplomats, politicians and a few business for the fun of it -- does that explain it???



But really, what a thing to say !


Possibly Greece's government officials either live in another dimension. Or this woman does.

Hopefully the latter.
