Italy referendum result could send shockwaves through markets and DESTROY Europe
Analysts believe the outcome of the ballot on constitutional reform could have massive global implications.
With many European leaders already coming under severe pressure from anti-EU parties ahead of elections next year the significance of the Italian result is huge.
Defeat for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi could lead to even deeper social turmoil in countries already struggling with austerity, immigration problems and a growing contempt for Brussels.

Don't you think it would be more accurate to say we relearn? I can't hold all lessons of generations past in my psyche at all times to guide my actions in the wisest of ways. This is a multi-generational cycle of tensions that release with events. At no point is it absolute evil or good
We only see things up close and personal, in our day to day lives. I don't know that having a population full of historians would make our progress any more efficient. We need people of all type, and apparently, to experience main events for the better and worse periodically.

If only interactions were so easily deciphered.
That would be nice.
Surely complex relationships and scenarios are not so easily summed up, and contain a multitude in shades of gray.

And French and German elections next year.
Massive peasant`s shift expected as in Lithuania.
Peasants are exhausted at the silent invasion. Loss of land, more tax, squashed schools, no housing, rapes/violence against their women.
The powers will do their best to say the peasant`s are ignorant and will repeat elections/referenda until the status quo result is achieved.
The peasants are revolting. History repeating as usual.
Never learn.
