I wonder when will we get tired of being the world's testing ground for various weird experiments. First we were the freak country without defense forces that was virtually a US military outpost in a very strategic area - our only armed forces were several cops and all that hidden folk living around the lava fields whom people swear to have met, but no one has photographed yet. Then we were the lab mice for Freedmanite fiscal ideology, and were being cited as the paragon of free-market success. That was before we were cited as the ultimate example of its failure. Somewhere around that time we invented "cutlery revolutions". Then we got the first openly homosexual prime minister who looks like a Hogwarths principal, at a time when gender had become a non-issue for ages here anyway. And now we got a Twitter-Constitution.
Now when I think of it, I actually doubt we'll ever stop experimenting. And maybe that's the good part of it. Iceland would've been a fairly boring place without all that craziness. :)
