Greece lights the flame – a symbolic gesture perhaps.
Another day and another Greek fire lighting ceremony. It’s a tradition that goes back for centuries. After all those anti-austerity riots when someone even set fire to Athens’ official christmas tree, it was no surprize to see that old Greek…
Barrack Obama and Gay Marriage
