		<description><![CDATA[By now everybody has heard about the riots in Greece. I&#8217;m not going into the senseless violence and spree of destruction that has swept over the country. Many news outlets, bloggers, tweeps have done that.
I&#8217;d like to pick up instead on the clamors for change that are heard all over the political spectrum. Change of [...]]]></description>
