Gp asked about default and you answered about abandoning the euro. The two issues are totally unrelated. Greece could leave the euro and continue with debt or default on debt and keep the euro. Leaving the euro would be nuts and bad for the

You're talking about a country so insanely crowded that they actually manufacture land out of the sea just to squeeze themselves in. In fact, they're famous for it because it's so awful and crazy. There's significant dan
