Afterword - by Böðvar Ásbjörnsson

Just because something is written on paper doesn’t mean that it’s carved in stone.

This work has been a collection of suggestions. They are suggestions only. There has been no attempt to codify any form of law, just an attempt to suggest how important such a law might be. Assembling and serving the law is the work of chieftains, and is the work of an assembly, not one lone scribbler.

Let this scribbler continue to hope that, with enough suggestions, action might one day result.

If the reader saw anything to agree with in the preceding, it is because most of this comes from discussions this writer has been privy to over the last few years. So, one could say that it was actually written by the Folk, with this writer as a “recording secretary”.

We are only the second generation of the Vinnish Folk. We are building for generations to follow. Let’s set aside our modern prejudices and build something fine.

There’s no hurry, and the consequences of failure are great. Let us build slowly, build carefully. Let’s build something we can be proud of. Let’s build as if our grandchildren’s cultural inheritance depended on it. Let us build something that will last.
