But it's a lot easier if someone does the research for us and I am grateful to those who contribute here for expanding my knowledge. As for knowing what goes on in your own country I never feel that is the case. All too often outsiders know more about what's going on as they are not being bombarded with government propaganda. In these times many of us have plenty to worry about and whilst the Icelandic situation is dire, many have been directly affected by the results of bankers greed and malpractice.
