When it comes to U.S. revenue vs. spending, perhaps some states in the red (as opposed to red states!) should worry about getting cut off by Washington? Now, New Mexico has a certain amount of visibility to Washington, but what about Mississippi, Alabama and Kentucky? One might imagine North Dakota could turn it around with fracking tax revenue. One can imagine that Greeks probably don’t like being treated like Kentucky. I’m sure Kentucky is nice, and they wouldn’t like to switch to their own currency. Or maybe they would!

Cordingley Sent: Sunday, July 05, 2015 5:06 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: [FRIAM] Greek Crisis & Philosophy As part of my continuing search for understanding how the world works and the role of philosophy... 1st question: It's been pointed out in a recent Washington Post article<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/07/04/a-hilarious-monty-python-sketch-explains-why-greece-is-in-a-huge-crisis/> that the fundamental problem in the current Greek crisis was epitomized in Monty Python's the Philosopher's Football Match (Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Philosophers%27_Football_Match> / Youtube<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5fGSBsfq8>) between Greece and Germany. Is it true? 2nd question, why does it seem that such a sketch works in the UK but never in the US? Robert C -- Cirrillian Web Development Santa Fe, NM http://cirrillian.com 281-989-6272 (cell)
