UK: Welcome to "Interesting Times"

Obviously a majority of non-UK citizens can't be as well-informed on the Brexit issues as a Brit, assuming Brits tried to educate themselves on it, still I'm surprised at the vote. Well, maybe I'm not surprised. After all, we're the country where Donald Trump has a decent chance of becoming leader of the free world.

I personally don't think the Brexit is a good idea. I think the UK had an excellent approach of keeping the Pound and not adopting the Euro: I think the unified currency was a really bad idea, as Greece, Spain, etc. have demonstrated.

We all live in Interesting Times, I guess. I have a theory that every country occasionally goes insane. I think the USA is well in to moving in to such a time where we have people voting against their interests in the name of party ideology where the political parties don't give squat about the people who vote for them, perhaps the UK is entering a similar stage.

Trump is symbolic of only part of the problem. The reality is that greed has overcome helping your fellow man and doing good. It seems that most companies' sole purpose is providing increasing dividends to their top investors, the rest can go hang.

There's some interesting discussion on Slashdot about the result of yesterday's Brexit vote, only time will tell what happens in the long-run.

In the end, it's too depressing to think about. And ultimately, we're all dead anyway.
