Johannes,
I would love to hear from you.
I am Marguerite and Eluf Holmgrens’ daughter…remember me???
I am quite impressed with your speech and proud to know you.
Rick, Jens, Ty, and I are ok.
Hope all is ok with you too,
Joyce

Great speach, but it´s a shame that most of the people are now falling into this stage:
“When people have to fight windmills, continually wrestling with a Kafka-esque course of events, there is a real danger of them losing their will. That can never be allowed to happen”.
But unfortunatelly many are allready in a stage where they:
“get gag reflexes if they hear about Icesave”
or we
“just want to get this over with”
so we
“can move on with our lives”
So, when people are allready in this possition, speaches like this are only that A SPEACH, one man with will and brains alone, with few people that really like how it sounds but to lazy to actually do something.

So the question is, are we going to JUST publish and read this kind of speaches and again JUST talk about it? or have we acctually decided that:
“We have tolerated for too long an incorrigible executive power, a limp Althingi and a judicial system which is political to the core. If we stand together then the elites will lose their grip of the system and we reap a better society, a more just society, a country of which we can be proud”.
