But it is also typical of Spaniards in general to wait way too long before confronting each other on their bullshit and for a populace that talks, and talks, and talks, without really listening to each other, the real issues of corruption never get addressed until it's too late. By the time you it comes to words, it's just one step away from coming to blows.

Like Llorca's Bernada Alba says at the end..."Silencio! Silencio!"

I wish we finns had the foresight to start doing this en masse before the neoliberal cabal starts to break our societys limbs on the wheel of austerity as well. Good work spaniards, revolution is the only way out of the sickness that is the eurozone.
