[10:47] {Threei} Spiegel:
[10:47] {Threei} The Greek crisis has revealed why the euro is the world's most dangerous currency. The euro was built on a foundation of debt and trickery, where economic principles were sacrificed to romantic political visions. The history of the common currency is the story of a good idea that turned into a tragedy of epic proportions.

[11:56] {Threei} We recommend using the amber tinted GUNNARS for all computer usage and gaming. The Crystalline lens will not offer the visual performance and protection against visual stress and the harsh blue light from digital screens
[11:56] {Threei} We developed crystalline exclusively if your job requires you to work on true color.
