12:30 05May10 - GREEK PROTESTERS SET BUILDING IN CENTRAL ATHENS ON FIRE, FIREMEN EVACUATE PEOPLE - EYEWITNESS
ATHENS, May 5 - Greek protesters set a building on fire in central Athens on Wednesday and a Reuters witness saw firemen evacuate at least 4 people.
"There are probably people trapped in the building," the fire brigade said in a statement adding that firemen were trying to put out the fire.
The clashes took place during a march against austerity measures, the largest since the country was gripped by a debt crisis in October last year.
Hundreds threw chunks of marble and sticks at police who responded with teargas.

Acropolis Now.......“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

I have zero sympathy for the Greeks. They want to live outside their means and expect others to foot the bill - I hope the German parliament rejects the bail out and the Greeks sink deeper into the soft, brown, malodorous stuff.0
