The consequences of a collapse would not be pretty. Whichever country precipitated it - Germany by threatening to abandon the euro, or Greece or Spain by actually doing so - would trigger economic chaos and incur its neighbours' wrath.
The second 'Postal Service' album is threatening to become the 'Chinese Democracy' of indie rock. It will come out eventually, or maybe it won't.
The question is not, will there be difficulties and threats to our existence, but how will we deal with them and what can we learn from them. How can they become blessings to society, as a life threatening disease is to an individual, by teaching us about the meaning of our life and existence?
I'll be the first to thank RuPaul, who gave me the money and let me out into the world. RuPaul is an excellent role model.

So they weren't particularly threatening or anything to be afraid of.
Competition in the American tech sector is being gobbled up by the largest players, and it's threatening our entire industry.
