The economic crisis in Europe has hit very hard. In fact we are in a deflationary spiral and young people are especially vulnerable:

In essence I agree that the sense of entitlement is the cause of all this, including piracy. But I think that it primarily comes from the people on the top. Rising unemployment is certainly not because working class has become lazier but because greedy billionaires have squeezed the economy too hard. There is no point to squeeze the working class even further unless the balance of public good is restored.

Yesterday Fred Goodwin, the former CEO of the RBS bank, was stripped of his knighthood in the UK for his role in creating recession. This is a significant case because it appears that he was not formally convicted of any wrongdoing. While the title is largely ceremonial, many think that it should reflect moral values. So much for the law implementing moral values.

There is a saying: fish spoils from the head.
