Have the Greeks increased their work week to 12 hours yet? Just wondering. Whoaa! I resent that--don't believe media misinformation! I have spent considerable time there through the years, and it has been documented that Greeks work more hours than many of their European counterparts. The Greeks work hard, my friend, and they work long hours. I have seen it, and I know it as a fact--

If you think Greece, Spain and Europe (Greece and Spain are NOT in Europe? Who knew?) are good examples of capitalism, then, to quote Princess Bride, "You keep using that word, but I do not think you know what it means". "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means". http://youtu.be/G2y8Sx4B2Sk

Keep telling yourself that. It may or may not happen this side of the Parousia. In the meanwhile, capitalism, for all of its imperfections, has still done more to alleviate global poverty and enhance personal freedom than all of the utopian schemes devised since the dawn of time, and for one specific reason: all of you think you are smart enough to tell the rest of us what to do. This telling everybody what to do isn't a part of the distributist program. I'm really sorry to be taking this side of the discussion when these guys on the same side keep saying all this stuff I wish they wouldn't.

I will have to research that. Do you have any proof texts or links I can study?

Try reading the newspaper. No New York Times though.
