Unrest in Greece Turns Deadly

Greek officials have confirmed the deaths of three people who perished in a fire that broke out at an Athens bank during riots against government spending cuts.

An estimated 100,000 people took to the streets of Athens today to protest budget cuts aimed at saving their country from bankruptcy. Unbelievable.

The AP reports that protesters were hurling Molotov cocktails at police and buildings and left at least two buildings burning.

I guess this is what happens when dependency on government grows out of control...
