Best of luck. I know that Iceland has an extensive volcano eruption monitoring system so I would hope that everyone had planned ahead and were not caught by surprise. Regarding your luck running out, we may be in the same state with Obama about to force socialist and hideously expensive health care against the wishes of the US population and that may finally bankrupt the country. Misery loves company is an old American phrase that would seem appropriate here. I hope Iceland survives and thrives through all of this adversity. You are a resourceful people.

Thanks for that, and I hope you are right, even though my countrymen have disapointed myself very much during this time. I always imagined that when it really, really mattered we would quit our squabbles and turn our backs together and unite when the threat to our country would be great. But when you have an idealogical socialliberal party that is married to some kind of international, multicultural idea of a united Europe, bridging the differences is that much harder.

I really hope the US can avoid going down the drain of European socialism, the Health care system is of course the most important when it comes to how big the government is in our daily lives. And education right after that.

If the US decides to do as Europe has and pay for everyones health care (incrementally that will be the end result) from tax payers funds, you will have to shed your military and standing in the world. You can´t have both a strong military that protects freedom in the world (from the likes of China and the EU), and a state funded health care system. So it is make or brake time for the future of western civilization, as I don´t see Europe going anywhere but to the extinction of the native cultures.
