The cops look relatively harmless in the video, I don't think it will be quite that peaceful with our police. They are equipped with "less than lethal" weapons and are just itching to try them out.
I had a dream of the same happening.
Ron Paul and others where making speeches and all of a sudden hundreds of thousands rushed into a building.
That dream gave me a lot of energy for quite a few days.
There's some comfort in knowing we haven't been the only ones to get cheated and also to know that we have brothers in arms around the world who are demanding REAL change.
I have a custom, personalized page at Google News set up to provide the top 7 international news stories for "Iceland" every time I visit - it's been very educational. Try a search for Iceland.
It's not my site. I have a personalized page at Google News. If you want to set it up, look up at the top of the linked page and set it up. I had "Ron Paul" set up during the campaign - that was great.

Almost 5,000 people assembled on Austurvöllur parliamentary square in downtown Reykjavík on Saturday, for the eighth weekend in a row, to protest against the government and demand the resignations of ministers.
5,000 people is about 2% of the population there.
If we could get 2% of the population here to protest,that would be about 7 million people and that would be one hell of a protest!!!

It will happen, but the people are not yet feeling enough misery. Revolutions only occur when the level of misery among the people rise above a certain level...the seeds have been planted and the fertilizer is heading our way.

Actually these pictures from Iceland
reminded me of East Germans storming the Stasi Headquarter in 1989.

In my own experience lately,
many of the people that I had spoken to and they were in denial, are responding emotinally, and in a positive way today.
