Greek Government - Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein

The 19th of October 2011 will witness the almost complete shut down of the Greek economy.

2 main themes dominate the motives of the strikes.

1. Public sector workers unhappy about massive wage and benefit cuts

2. Private sector refusing to contribute to government revenue.

The public sector strikes are now almost daily. Athens News has taken to dedicating one article everyday to highlight which unions will be on strike so people can plan their days in advance.

A private sector strike until this point has been largely organised by unions. The strike on the 19th of October are different.The majority of the Greek private sector, unionised or not, will be closing its doors for one day to protest against the state violence now being inflicted upon the Greek populous.

The simple motivation for this unprecedented no unionised stoppage of the private sector is to deprive the government of one days worth of tax revenue. It is an interesting and possible decisive move by the private sector. Even though businesses are not generally unionised a show of solidarity amongst all independent private businesses ups the stakes for the government, a much bigger resistance to their plans has emerged.This is the most telling and possibly the most effective strike to hit Greece in 3 years.if there is one thing that a government will take notice of it is being hit in the pocket.The Greek government deficit remains at over 10% despite massive increases in tax rates for all members of Greek society.The Greek government deficit in 2010 is now stated as 10.6% and yet the Greek finance minister Venizelos and prime minister Papandreou show no signs of altering their policies.

According to Albert Einstein, Venizelos and Papandreou are now officially insane
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Papandreou and Venizelos would do well to read them

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."

"Force always attracts men of low morality"

"We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Albert Einstein

We all know about Albert Einstein, the founder of the theory of relativity but how about the person who taught him and showed him the way to a bright scientific journey which would change the world? That was his teacher, Konstantinos Karathodoris. During one of his last pubic appearance Albert Einstein said, “You ask me to answer to all sorts of questions, but noone has ever wanted to know who was my teacher, who showed me the way to the higher mathematical science, thought and research. I simply say that my teacher was the unrivalled Greek Konstantinos Karatheodoris, to who we owe everything…” Indeed, it was a Greek from Thrace. He has not only been in touch with Einstein but has also hepled him to complete the theory of relativity. The world’s mathematical community acknowledges the  major offering and contrubution of  “Kara” , as they name him when it comes to the research of higher mathematics. He started his studies at the age of 27 and until the last days of his life he kept writing critics and scientific studies. His cooperation and communication with Einstein  for the theory of relativity is imprinted in the letters they exchanged, which know are  exhibited in the museum “Karatheodoris ” in Komotini. Below is an excerpt:

“I consider your derivative as excellent.. at first I was misleaded by a slight error in  the second page. But know, I understand everything. You should publish the theory in this form in Αnnalen der Physik since physicists know  nothing on this subject, neighter do I. [...] If you would  like to unfold regular transformations, I would be  a concious and grateful listener. If you could also solve the problem of closed timelines, then I would kneel to you. [...]  A. Einstein”
