Yay Iceland. This is good news for the world. How often does one get to say that?
I noticed an interesting reaction in myself while reading the article. My first thought was, "Wow, that's rational and a really good idea". That was immediately followed by, "Rats, that means that it will be killed by entrenched interests and lobbyists." Then I thought, "Hey wait a minute, this is Iceland. They're independent enough and intelligent enough to do this if they want to." Iceland appears to be a pissed-off nation that is actually correcting itself and doing things differently. Imagine that.
