AN AMERICAN IN GREECE, PART I: Grecians like to go on strike. More than ouzo, more than feta, more than island-hopping, Grecians love that strikin'.
The other day in my Sales Management class, we were discussing the power of unions and their subsequent striking antics. I said something to the effect that the Japanese are on target, since they continue on their jobs and only wear an armband in protest.
My professor stood silent for a moment and then with great theatrics, declared: "You're a Republican! A conservative one too!"
Yes, my Greek friends, you are correct.
