Greece passes steep cuts as riots seize capital. This could have been avoided.

I'm sorry that all the direct action by the Greek people did not forestall the odious austerity cuts. Continued action may help educate people to make better choices in the future at the ballot box. But educating people about politics better in the first place (for example Greece had been holding down taxes for the wealthy while trying to have a European style economy, which is not possible) works better than emergency marching in the streets.
