The Greek Debt Crisis and the Price of Oil

It is not yet 8:00 in the morning, and already the bullhorns are active. Organizers are chanting out instructions just out of sight, and music is blaring from loudspeakers somewhere in the distance.

A pause descends. The sudden quiet hangs uneasily over everything.

Suddenly, they appear.

Thousands and thousands of them.

Walking straight down the middle of the street, in defiance of cars, shop owners, the on-looking police ...
