Anybody who lived through wwII knows that a heap of trouble can follow when a whole people is thrown to the dogs, as was the German population after WWI. Or for that matter, the American South after the Civil War. I am hoping for a positive response from the EU at this point. N Nicholas S.

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.

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?
