    It's time to crack open each others skulls and feast on the grey goo within.

    It's unlike Jonjo to be predicting the end of the world again.

    Islamic finance is the way to go. That's why every single Muslim country is mad rich.

    Its unavoidable.
    The big boys though have started to kop on though that their conditions can't be too tight or they will end up crushing the economy (or whats left of it).
    The CIA says that the country is possible bordering in near coup status with the levels of unrest.

    Meanwhile in Spain.............
    MADRID, June 19 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Spaniards abandoned their customary quiet day with families and friends on Sunday to march against the so-called "Euro Pact" and the handling of the economic crisis.

    "I'm here because this is a con," said Juanjo Montiel, 26, one of four blind protestors in Madrid, who works in Information Technology for around 1,000 euros a month.

    "I'm lucky enough to have a job, but many don't and have no chance. And on top of that, the politicians want to make more cuts. This is not our fault, it's the system."

    The political leaders of the euro zone's fourth largest economy have worked hard to convince investors the country will not follow Greece, Portugal and Ireland in needing a bailout.

    Since May, the protests have snowballed.

    This last slide put's things in perspective;
    The Sun Also Rises
    This parade of horribles does not portend the end of the world. The sun will rise the day in the event Greece defaults. And it will rise the next day, and the next. People will still fall in love, get married, have children, make friends, and find innovative ways to cope with a world that seems a little less safe than it did a few months ago.

    Eventually, someone, somewhere, will make a fortune by correctly calling the inevitable economic recovery.

    Why can't they be sensible people and bend over like the rest us? Surely the ECB will supply free KY Jelly to help us through this crisis?
