Its VERY nice to go to Iceland – everyone know eachother (the separation of 6 degrees is down to 2) and when my wife forgot her driving lisence – she just called the police station – and they faxed a copy to HErtz so we could rent a car. NEAR/CLOSE/UNITED is good for the soul – it made me happy to see a socierty where people care for eachother – and bureukrats act like thay care (maybe because everyone very like could be a friends friend).
