no kidding

Except it takes people to get grievously injured before they’ll even accept there is a problem anywhere, about anything.

Those sidewalks were the bane of my existence when I lived in Athens. I am so glad I live in Thessaloniki now, where I can actually walk around with my bad hip and not worry about crappy sidewalks.

These words come to mind: “class action”. The only way to bring change is in such cases is litigation. The government is not going to fix this out the goodness of their own (where?) heart and the option of a demonstration is out due to its effectiveness.

Is there a lawyer out there willing to take 300 people on and bring the system down? (I just saw “300″, imagine people in crutches, casts, wheelchairs, shields and helmets facing off the legislators and winning!!!)

Athenian sidewalks are like decathlons.
Leap, hurdle, jump.

p.s. The real sports heroes are those young ladies with high-heels. How they’ve managed to keep from breaking their necks is an achievement of Olympian effort!

No kidding, flubberwinkle. I have pictures of my stubborn friends climbing up and down ruins in high heels. Why they do it, I don’t know, but it is very impressive that they can do it all without injury.
