Searching for a metaphor


Reading a piece in the Telegraph about a possible EU bust-up, as the deutschers baulk at pay-rolling the rest of the Eurozone, I find myself happily contemplating the collapse of the Brussels Empire. On one level, I recognise that this may lead to bad things, but so be it.

As I ponder my attitude, searching for an explanatory image, I come to this: I feel like a captive Israelite in the Philistine temple with Samson shaking the pillars. I know if he brings it down, I'll be smashed to smithereens along with everyone else, but still...

COME ON SAMSON, BRING IT DOWN!
