Should Europe's latest 'crisis' deter you?

And the results in Greece, especially, really do increase the odds that it will have to pull out -- or be thrown out -- of the euro currency zone. Some economists and politicians seem to have no clue as to what will happen in that case, others expound their dire predictions, and hardly anybody is optimistic.
