Hooray! We Won Something ... Maybe

Iceland now has low unemployment and its economic growth is stronger than anything forecast for the UK or the rest of Europe.

Accountability works!

But don't tell anybody.

Iceland's recovery, and how they did it, is not a topic to be discussed on our Nightly News. Might remind the peons of what tumbrels were ... and give the serfs the idea that they should build some new ones and roll on in to Washington DC and Wall Street.

Y'see ... there are only two things that can bring a psychopath under submission:

1. A bigger psychopath.
2. The non-violent, absolute refusal to submit to psychopathic controls no matter the consequences.

Americans for the most part have invented a completely ridiculous third option. It involves shopping for more crap, watching an average of nearly 35 hours of TV each week, and voting against their best interests.

And by the way ... here's another fact that should make everybody's Envy-O-meter beep: Iceland has universal health care.

Regards from Beautiful British Columbia.

I haven't moved my political point of view ... ever. Right smack in the Middle of the Road. But everything has shifted so far to the Right now Bill O'Reilly thinks I'm of the Far Left.
