Merkel and her hands

There are times when males have the ability to hold the future in their hands - in a manner of speaking. Now they are talking about Merkel of Germany holding the world's future in her hands. That is a lot to hold. I mean perhaps the Germans have big hands but the world seems like a stretch. Even the Greek Dimon of JPM fame could not answer what happened to $2 plus Billion on his own watch and we expect the German woman to control what is going to happen to the whole world? I mean who came up with this brilliant thesis? What the heck does Germany have to do with the world anyway? If it all goes to hell in a handbasket (more debate on what this means in some other profound blog) I am not sure the inavailability of BMWs and Mercedes or their spare parts is going to be a primary concern for someone. So no one country truly has the ability to cause any permanent harm is what I am saying. People seem to attach too much emphasis or weight to one particular idea to scare the weak and dumb. This sensationalizing headline is just such an example. PS: If the Merkel wiki is to be believed however, she seems to be somewhat scientifically inclined based on her education in physics, math and chemistry which is probably a huge deal compared to the nitwits that rule other countries.
