It pretty obvious what my ideas are because it drip from each of my post.

Dont mind you post opinion different from mine provided you make some backup of your reasons and facts — but dont misquote me.

Where do I “always” say that?

I am annoyed in the case of Íris and Valur article because they distort facts so much in way as I explain.

What I dislike here at icenews is growing lack of actually posting ontopic by many poster here. They drift off to ad hominem attacking and plain off topicness recently. Its very boring.

Because no one been pushing hard for this — particualrly not Jóhanna, and Steingrímur who after fire rhetoric gone silent now sitting in government.

I am sorry Fisy but this does not seem a convincing reply to me. After all,the sheriff is supposed to be an independent and impartial investigator who should do his (important) work, regardless of the behaviour of the present or previous gov.

Reason for Icelander to go to Iceland was to escape kings (taxes) and criminal. Decentralized power was the way here and there no executive branch government at all witch was completely unknown of in Europe at time — and it became badafter with voilence only after Christianty taken because of centralization of power that Christianty gave.

In my opinion Valur used the same argument in the article.

I do admit that I am not an expert in the history of icelandic privatizations but there are certain facts that make Valur’s arguments plausible to me:

-an unplanned side effect of the privatizationwas the arrival of a new class of ‘sharks’ , grabbing large parts of the newly privatized companies and founding new ones
-with some of them (especially Asgeir/Baugur) Oddson had a very bad relation
-there was a lack of competition on the local icelandic market
-prices were kept high artificially; do you think it is normal that icelanders had to pay 2 to 3 times more for daily groceries than us ‘poor’ EU citizens (in fact most prices are stil higher than overhere)?

Witch is surprising.

Why is only one pushing hard for this independence investigations is Davið Oddsson?

Valur also so blinded by his idioligy he skim over things he talk about. If case is so strong no need to misrepresent — unless of course write actually pig ignorant of subject and not interest to learn or he know history as he wants to write is not actual history as historians tell us about it.

Valur history of privatlization idea of Davið also sound strange. Not sure he actually understand what Davið and other pushing for. Davið and others take over Independence party and make it electible after failures of centralize power monopoly etc. for most modern history Iceland.

If going to rip into people and ideas must get those ideas right — cannot attack if not to able to represent ideas correctly. Then cannot match ideas and words to actions to show why bad wrong hypocrit etc, and that is why articles like those ones just cannot be taken too serious.

(On same lines in other article by Íris it seem she does not even understand when quoting Milton Friedman he were talking about history of Iceland in free common wealth period 930-1262 not 1990s. With ignorance like this hard to take anything Íris write serious.)
