I'm amazed by some of the responses here.

This afternoon I was watching an old movie from about 1954.

The fellow was sitting down and opened a newpaper - The headline was (something in the line of) "Economic Crisis Threatens Europe"...And this was from around 1954.

And they are still here, and still Europe.

Maybe everyone should start linking back to headlines from 1955 or 1956 to see the outcome...

And Holy Cow!..I just remembered - It's 2012 - I should be heading to a monastery or something before the really big calamity...Can anybody suggest a place that has decent food?

I concur. Dollar and Euro are both declining currencies.

Well some people on here would just love to see the Euro collapse, don't you agree?
