What do We do Now?

Now people's lifestyle has to change and people have to begin really thinking. For several years we have allowed ourselves so many things. It didn't matter what you worked with, you could get a new porche and apartment...you just take a loan. And as sad as it sounds many, many people did take advantage of it and now they basically are in deep s**t! People don't see anything but debt for now and the next years. People owe so much money that although they would sell the car and the apartment that wouldn’t be enough for debts. The Icelandic bankrupt are just a joke.

I agree to holding into traditions such as talking Icelandic but not English, having our þorrablót, or winter celebration, réttir, or fall sheep roundups and fireworks on New Year’s Eve, but I don't see why we can’t have euro as as we are bankrupt it's just much more safer. But the Icelandic government thinks more about letting the police walk with guns in the streets than thinking about what is best for Icelandic economy.

We just can't be surprised that it went like this because of course we could see this happening before it did but now we ask why did nobody do anything and can we let all this just happen without saying anything ? They have gambled with our money and they all just stand up and hold their heads high because they didn’t lose anything…just the people.

Should we just sit down and and let them or should anyone be found guilty?
