I explored Iceland. I feel inspired. If the free market-based Christian social democracy in vigor in Iceland is enacted in the US, we may have some excellent results. Let us have a dream.

 

Not a single American is living under the threshold of poverty. No American will lose their house, or go bankrupt because of high-cost medical care; tax-based universal Medicare covers everyone from crib to coffin. Health statistics are the best in the world…

 

No young adult will go without higher education or technical training, because proselytism is free from K to 12, then beyond, as long as decent grades are kept.

 

The minimum wage is $15 an hour. Everyone pays the same flat tax rate: 23%. Credit card interest rates are capped at 12% (no more at a usurer rate of 23%). Credit cards are prohibited from any American younger than 21 (debit cards are accepted).

 

American children have a 99.9% graduation rate from high school, and benefit from basic healthcare and from school meals. Their parents can afford the cost of living, including babysitting, recreation, and travel.

 

Crime, drug use, gang violence, and prison population have plummeted to 10% of their peak levels. Families stay together. Drug use is treated as a disease, and law enforcement focuses on their sources of provenance, not on street corner third-rate distributors.

 

Protection of the planet is prioritized. The use of cheap, renewable energy is instituted. Solar, geothermal, hydroelectric electricity are harnessed to productivity. Hydrocarbon-based products, generating green-house gases, were phased out.

 

The death penalty is eliminated, as being unacceptable in a Christian society. Any recidivism of racism, bigotry, race supremacy, ethnic profiling, religious discrimination, misogyny, xenophobia is passible of life imprisonment without parole.

 

In order to prevent illegal immigration, America Pax Humana is universalizing free healthcare, free education, and productive employment in 122 poor countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America and the Caribbean.

 

All nuclear weapons are destroyed. The worldwide military industrial complex is dismantled. In 20 years, when poverty and epidemics are eradicated, all country borders will be abolished.

 

……………….

 

From September 2 to 6, I visited a new country, Iceland, an isle of peace and prosperity, equality and fraternity. It sets itself as a model for anyone who aspires to a society rid of greed, individualism, egocentricism. It makes the phrase “brother’s keeper” a tangible reality.

 

Iceland paints the human race in its universality, not in its differences. As a visitor, one feels the warmth of a genuine interest and of a proverbial welcome from the autochthon.

 

From exhilarating night parties in Reykjavik to whale watching in high sea, from an inspiring history to an impressive lead in DNA genetic sciences, Iceland, the mix of fire from the volcanoes and ice of from the glaciers, is worth your time and your interest. There is so much to learn from the green Iceland.

 

I am back from a new trip abroad. I have reinforced my conviction that there is only one human race, with one single set of dramas and dreams. The average Icelander is faring better economically, but their dreams remain similar and generic: a safer world and a better tomorrow for their progeny. In this quest, they hold hands together in crossing the path of life. Not every nation does.

 

I am a citizen of the world. If a blue-watered Caribbean island is my homeland, the world is my patria, and Warrenville is my home… Yes, I have returned home to the rat race. But it is so good to be back home.

 

Until the next adventure, that was The Traveller.
