It seems the world is on a slippery slope to bad times right now. One simple indicator of this is the lack of tolerance for 'rough and tumble' debate. People around the world are too precious. Take the BBC interview with a Euro Zone expert who was referred to as an idiot by one of the panel discussing the issues of the day. The English journalist kept referring to the Euro Zone expert as an idiot - so he walked out of the discussion.
What hope do we have if the people with influence today are so thin skinned as to take offence at being called an idiot. Surely there were idiots on both sides of the debate so let's just get on with it and engage in the rough and tumble until we make some serious headway.
I recall being a kid who called another kid an idiot. This slur prompted him to take his bat and ball home with him so we could not continue the game. I would have thought that the euro crisis is a bit more important than a kid's backyard squabble.
