| #3 It would be well to remember that Russia is a schizophrenic nation, only half European in character. The other half, the other face, is purely Asiatic. This was remarked on by Kipling, who praised Russians as Asiatics, but looked on them with distrust when they put on European airs. And while the European in Russians might disdain the Stalinist slaughter, the Asiatic understands the greater purpose. And it truly *isn't* a flawed philosophy, it is just a different one. If a villager insults the Emperor, it is *expected* that his entire village will be razed in punishment. To do otherwise is unnatural and odd. |

| #1 Too bad the LLL isn't required to watch these shows. Most still long for the day that the Soviet Union was king of the Hill. Actually, I think that they really want a dictatorship; that way, they can make people do things without having to win messy elections and trying "persuade" people to do "the right thing." |
