What is happening in Greece-- where social unrest is inciting violent protests from citizens-- seems reminiscent of similar unrest in America in the mid-18th century. Although the clashes have different circumstances-- with the young colonies in America being governed by a very foreign encroaching on their rights, and this more modern version in Greece being purely domestic-- there some strong scents of similarities: powerful emotions of rebellion fueling upheaval throughout a state that is "already difficult to to control [and will] now be out of control" (BBC News, "Rebellion Deeply Embedded in Greece", December 2008).
