First, Be Polite.

Lots of folks in Europe are beginning to think the Euro and the Eurozone weren't such a good idea. Well isn't that just like people? They think something will be helpful right up until it isn't and then blame somebody else. Why is it people always look for somebody else to blame? Don't they realize the person they're trying to blame has already blamed them? They forget that hindsight is a lot better predictor that foresight. Have ya ever done something you wish you hadn't, or even worse, said something you wish you hadn't? What about when you first realized that whatever it was that you thought was a good enough idea to execute, wasn't such a good idea to execute? Usually you wish you hadn't executed that idea. Sometimes you wish you had executed yourself. Or at least that lump on top of your shoulders. On the other hand what if you were very careful never to do or say anything that might be controversial or harmful? In all likelihood you'd be a boring person living a boring life of solitude. Besides, sometimes saying something you should not have said will improve your social life and provide a little excitement in you life. Doing dumb things can be fun too, so long as you don't seriously hurt yourself or somebody else. Probably the best thing to do is be gentle in your complaints and be willing to take credit for the dumb things you do. After all, you did them, if you can't get the credit, nobody should. I've always tried to adhere to the practice of being as silly and pleasantly offensive as possible.
