    Speaking of homeowner riots (since I brought it up), Iceland is now seeing protests by those being forced to PAY their mortgages:

    [quote]A six-month freeze on mortgage repayments put in place by the government expired on Thursday, triggering the anger of many Icelanders who will fall short on home payments. Iceland’s disgruntled population gathered in their thousands, beating makeshift drums and hurling red paint at the legislature.[/quote]

    Actually, the heading is a bit misleading. Try:

    Around 2,000 people protested in front of parliament, voicing dissatisfaction with, among other things, a recent parliamentary vote that saw three of four ministers recommended for facing charges of negligence escaping any charges.

    If you read a bit farther down.. you’ll see it.
