Iceland Gets it right~ Why No media coverage?

33. Stockton??? A greater impact???

Say no more. Don't say another word.

You're absolutely right. The number of citizens is always the universal yardstick
through which the most effective and accurate, cross-boundary, international
comparisons should be made...

On the other hand...

If Stockton had a constitution, if it was a sovereign country with it's own currency
and membership in the United Nations (no, wait, Stockton would withdraw from the
United Nations, and if it had it's own currency Ted Nugent would be the face on the
two-dollar bill), we would all have a prime, wonderful example of governmental
dysfunction at work. ("Republicans at work," the little sovereign city state's official
motto would be.)

But thankfully, we're never going to have to worry about that possibility, or the
potential harm that could come from the governmental entity that is Stockton
becoming involved in a pyramid/Ponzi scheme of credit default obligations fronted
and supported by a partnership of banksters, elected lap dogs, and bought-off
regulators.

There's no chance of that ever happening, or its having "an impact" on America.

So one more rhetorical hobby horse bites the dust. .....I may not be Icelandic, but there
are 3 Icelanders who belong to my church, so I have some sympathy for the place
and the people that live there. (Did you know that of all the modern Scandinavian
languages, Icelandic is the closest to Old Norse. What the Vikings spoke and wrote.
So Icelanders have little difficulty reading the original text of the medieval Viking sagas,
even school children.)
