I was watching a program on the History Channel about the Bubonic
Plague of europe in the 1300's; afterwards there was a time of
great economic prosperity. 

Currently europe's unemployment rate tends to be higher (~8-9%) than
the U.S. (~3-5%) Maybe this is the proverbial shot-in-the-arm the
EU needs.

Hoorah for CFC's!!!
