Form of Governing . Iceland is a democracy. America is a corpocracy, which I call the "Devil's Marriage" between large corrupting corporations and corruptible politicians. I wrote a whole book explaining how her corpocracy is turning America into "ruination." Furthermore, the nature of American politics and her rigged elections have prevented the American people from electing presidents who are not psychopathological (a condition confirmed by many experts on the subject).

Guns and Ammunition . Icelanders aren't permitted to carry handguns. In America there are about as many guns as there are Americans thanks to the pressure from the gun and ammunition industries, their trade hawkers, the National Rifle Association and the captive US Supreme Court's biased reading of the 2 nd Amendment.

Accentuating the Positive, Eliminating the Negative

The nearly 324 million Americans aren't all malevolent, just the 5,000 some members of America's power elite, made up of corporate, political, and military leaders, the unelected "shadow" government (e.g., the CIA), and their ideological advisors who preach America's "manifest destiny" as an excuse for ousting democratically elected leaders of other countries and for bombing countries that don't yield.

The urgent question if Americans are to be good ancestors of the future is how to unite and mobilize millions upon millions of good Americans to establish a government for them, not for the power elite. Armed revolution is absolutely not the way to end malevolent regimes. They have the power to crush armed people. Moreover, the only good path to peace is peace itself.

In Closing

At the age of 81, I am doing what I can through my writings to urge America to change course before it's too late. After visiting Iceland, I ask Americans to follow her example. I wish Iceland continued well-being and for America I wish all Americans well-being in the future.
