    <p>If you are depressed about things in the USA these days… don’t try to escape the madness by taking a vacation in Europe… you’ll only get MORE DEPRESSED.</p>
    <p>Recently, countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Britain have been grappling with<a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2010/11/29/europes_ominous_reckoning_108078.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"> gigantic economic disasters </a>of their own.</p>
    <p>Governments are in deep debt… almost bankruptcy. Politicians in those countries are desperately trying to tackle the problem <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11830460" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">with mixed success</a> (See cartoon above).</p>
    <p>Meanwhile, peeved citizens have been revolting against government painful economic remedies, as seen in <a href="http://www.channel4.com/news/thousands-protest-against-ireland-austerity-cuts" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Ireland this past weekend.</a></p>
    <p></p>
    <p>Iceland is in such desperate straits that it is <a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/6060430/iceland_elects_assembly_made_up_of.html?cat=9" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">re-drafting its constitution</a>.</p>
    <p>Yesterday, the entire country voted to elect 31 individuals, who will make up an assembly to put together a new charter for the island nation. This dramatic action is at least partially influenced by <a href="http://www.iceland.org/info/iceland-crisis/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Iceland’s financial crisis in 2008</a>.</p>
    <p>Makes you wonder if  the United States should consider this, too?   If you could change something about the US constitution, what would you change?</p></div>
