In Wisconsin, We Choose to Be Greece or Not

The WSJ's lead editorial today rightly puts the Wisconsin showdown in its proper context by referencing Greece and the labor upheavals that typically sweep through Europe. I contextualized where we are in this country with reference to Greece too. We are at a less advanced stage of rot as Greece and our upheavals will ultimately prove to be of a much milder ilk, but the disease is the same - a labor driven quasi socialist state - and the toll it takes is on civil society itself. I only hope that we maintain our distance from Greek-like levels of societal dysfunction...in Wisconsin the rot has only progressed far enough that teachers do not feel compelled to teach, whereas in Greece the entitlement besotted labor mobs kill people.
