I think we can expect rioting in the UK soon, so let's not be smug
about Greece and Iceland.

The problem in Greece and Spain and places like that is that they
don't have a feeling of stability. Look at the streets today and
ask which countries are out of control.

What I can say, when looking at the streets, is that elections in the UK are
well under control.

But the U.K. is not on the euro, so they can only destroy their own currency.

argument, to note that one of the greatest 'fictions' of our
federal system is that the Congress exercises only those powers
delegated to it, while the remainder are reserved to the States or
to the people. The manner in which this Court has construed the
Commerce Clause amply illustrates the extent of this fiction.",

Nope. So much of our trade and (unpaid?) loans are with the Eurozone.

I will be in Holland later this month. Holland is a euro country, so I'll
get a chance to see what the situation is like there. We will be visiting
Dutch friends.
