What is the overall sentiment now? It seems like Greece is between a rock and a hard place with equally foul tasting poisons. The medicine as bad as the sickness. Is there any real choice? Is it so critical to stay in the EU that they should cede island ownership and assets? My understanding is that even if Greek left the EU, the creditors would still take the gold and everything else. Cursed every which way but up as they say. Thoughts? Just wondering, thanks.  Crappy times.

More forward thinking than I would have thought. Interesting approach in light of being plagued by various extremist groups. Interesting.
