Leigur, my FRiend, you take care. Iceland will make it through this. They are a very sturdy, hardy stock. They’ve been through worse in their history. Let’s just hope that the recent prosperity hasn’t softened too many of them too much. ;o)

Leigur? Who is Leigur? I think I meant Leifur!! ;o)

Thanks, I will, and I hope you are right. The thing is that though last time we went through a "worse" in our history it resulted in the loss of a third part of our population.

And actually, that was just the lowest point of a steady decline that lasted 800 years of being a tax-colony of a European power, our prosperity has always been in inverse proportions of how much foreign power has been over us.

And sadly, some want us to join the EU now and thus forsake our independence and future prosperity for a short time gain. Here is the picture you posted taken from an icelandic site
