Iceland Gets it right~ Why No media coverage?

[mathematic]

14. You really want to know why? Or is this just ideological storytime?

The real reason is that Iceland is a sparsely populated island of fishermen in the north atlantic with practically no great impact on the world.

If you haven't heard of all this through the media then how did you hear about it? Do you speak icelandic? Are you one of the 300,000 people that live in iceland? How much time do you want the media to spend on this? How much time should the media spend on Stockton's financial troubles? The stockton area has twice as many people as iceland and a far greater impact on the lives of americans.

Iceland is basically one very small city and a bunch of even smaller villages. Sacking the government is like electing a new mayor. In no way does Iceland's experience explain how to generalize this sort of sweeping direct democracy to high population, high density groups of people.
