Will The Real Barbarians Please Stand Up
Tuesday, December 26, 2006
Much of Egyptian works were burned by Muslims and
Christians and are lost for ever. But from the bits and
pieces of less valuable works that survived we know that
they already new Geometry, for example 1500 years before
the construction of the first pyramid. The Greeks had a
very lively exchange of goods and knowledge with
Egyptians, Hindus and Orient, and expanded on much of
that knowledge. Later, the cruel and over obsessed with
power over the world Romans stole much of that knowledge
from those so called Barbarians. The Romans ruled through
terror and fear. When they fell the Roman Catholic Church
inherited much of their empire and influences. Therefore,
we have been brought up on false and bios opinions about
the other ancients. Besides that, does anyone know at
least one Roman Mathematician? The truth is that real
intellectuals were in other regions of the ancient world
such as Egypt, India or Persia, for example. The Persians
were centuries ahead of the Romans and Greeks. Yet, few
know much about them and their opulent, liberal,
pragmatic and tolerant culture. The Persians overcame
three Roman Cesars when they were attacked by Romans. One
of them, Valerian was captured. In captivity, that Cesar
had to serve as a horse mounting stepping stool for a
Persian King. So finally, the Romans gave up and turned
on other countries such as the Greeks.
The Hindus, Egyptians and the Persians took other
countries and civilizations of their times as
underdeveloped or developing. Perhaps that's why Romans
destroyed their wisdom and knowledge. Besides that, it
was probably easier for them to rule over ignorant masses
that would not dare to question their authority.

Secret
Of The Holy Grail
Monday, December 17, 2006
The theories
about the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Jesus bring to
mind the long forgotten Roman gold mines in the mountains
of Transylvania in Romania, and the lakes of their
surrounding villages that have been poisoned with sulfur
that was used in gold mining for thousands of years. The
simple underlying truth of the grail secret and the
reason why it had to be kept secret remains covered under
all the elaborate speculation that has grown around it
over the millenniums. If one were to find the truth, one
would be freed (from one's faith). And that would mean
that one would have to give up one's faith, one would
have to become dehypnotized or deprogrammed. Do you dig,
fellow Diggers?

Coffee
Can Lead To Tobacco & Alcohol Addiction
Monday, December 4, 2006
Coffee can lead
to the use of more dangerous substances such as tobacco (cigarette
smoking), which is an expensive, deadly and addictive
narcotic that doesn't give the user anything much in
return, not even a high. It can lead to cancer, hart
attacks, neurosis, nervous disorders etc. Cigarette
smoking also leads to addiction to alcohol (alcoholism).
And alcohol leads to violence, divorce, mental disease,
anti-social behavior, broken homes, crime etc. It is also
responsible for billions of alcohol related deaths every
year.
The consumption of alcohol is also an important part of
Christianity. If we were to stop Christian Ministers or
Catholic Priests on the road after Church services and
asked them to take an alcoholmeter test, we would
probably find that many of them are actually driving
under the influence. However, that is socially acceptable.
If The
Dutch Could Reclaim The USA
Sunday, November 26, 2006
If the Dutch
could reclaim the USA then cannabis would be legal like
it is in the Netherlands, religious fanatics and
Presidents like L.B. Johnson or G.W. Bush (both from
Texas) wouldn't have a chance, and the world would be a
more peaceful place to live in.
I've been in Europe now for about 20 years. The first
five years were the most exciting because everything was
so new, there was so much to discover and I was treated
like a tourist. After that I really wanted to go back
home but I couldn't afford to make the trip at that time
because I was going through some really bad times. So, I
stayed. After going through those really bad times for
about ten years things started working out okay in the
end. Now, I don't think I would want to move back to the
States. The EU is where it's at and I love it here. If
one has a bit more money then one could live a much
better and peaceful life here. There's Spain nearby for
the Winter and Central Europe for work and the rest of
the year. There is so much diversity here and some really
nice and friendly folks everywhere.

My
Genetic Haplogroup
Thursday, October 12, 2006
I've got my
genetic test results from National Geographic's
Genographic Project. It turns out that I belong to the
Haplogroup R1a1. Guess that wraps up my trip back to
Europe to find my roots. However, I still feel that I don't
fit in to the Polish culture and have difficulty
accepting the local ways of thinking and doing things.
Genetic testing has shown that about 40% of people who
live in the region between the Czech Republic and Syberia
belong to my genetic group. I also heard that genetic
tests have shown that about 50% of Poles are of Jewish
descent but many of them are not aware of it. It also
turns out that I have many more ancestors living in India.
Most of them speak Hindi and belong to the Brahmin,
Kshatria and other casts. More online info on my genetic
group is available here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R1a

Back
From Amsterdam & Berlin
Tuesday, September 12,
2006
I've finally made
it back home. Now I need another vacation to come to and
to do the unpacking. This trip was a kind of bummer but
even a bummer in Amsterdam is pretty cool when you
finally make it back home. I didn't really get anything
done that I set out to do accept for some photos and
videos that I will be posting somewhere on my site some
time later. The Broadcasting Convention surprised us all
in Amsterdam. Most guys fled to Antwerp for those few
days. I instead went to Berlin, and then returned home
from there. It was another great experience just like in
the sixties when the music of Van Morrison accompanied me
on the radio across Europe, and the only shoes I had were
my rundown Converse All Star sneakers. Amazingly enough,
there's a lot of teens from GB and US in Amsterdam who
are doing the same type of bumming around as I was in the
sixties. They even look almost the same as I did then too.
This time I also met a few Germans who are seeking exile
in Holland from the draft. The sixties and the tolerant
and pragmatic culture is alive and doing very well there,
in spite of foreign pressures on the Dutch government to
curtail it.
Without a heaven there would be no hell; without evil
there would be no goodness; without darkness there would
be no light, etc. and the other way around. They all
complement each other. We need them all to be complete
and fulfilled as human beings. Everything is Okay as long
as we don't harm others along the way. Moderation is the
key.

Polish
Government Run By Twin Brothers
Sunday, July 21, 2006
Wow! I tell you,
man. I am in a country lead by twin brothers. One is just
as ugly as the other. They weren't even invited to the
Queen's Birthday in London. One is the President and his
twin brother the Prime Minister. They represent almost
everything that I am in opposition to. So, that's why I'm
so uptight lately and why I want to get the hell out of
this psychic dump as soon as possible. Now, this is their
territory and I have no chance against the system that
they have at their command. I'm also being followed again
by security personnel when I walk into my neighborhood
supermarkets where I am well known. But getting out is
not that easy. I have too many things and ties keeping me
here. Can't just pack my bags and leave. So, I hope that
explains what I've been confronted with lately. I know I
have to chill out but can't do that just yet under these
circumstances.

Freedom
Thursday, June 1, 2006
"Freedom's
just another word for nothing left to lose..." In
other words, once one has something one is not free
anymore. That's why the hippie movement and its spirit
should be free from those who have introduced anything
into it that limits others; especially young people who
would like to follow it. The worst thing to do is to
create some kind of hierarchy and saintly personas that
the youth should bow down to and follow. Soon, we'll
register as a religion or something like that. And I'm
afraid that is what some old hippies may be aiming at. At
building monuments for themselves and for the movement,
as if it was a thing of past history. The hippie spirit
must be free from leaders and binding organizations.
Otherwise it will turn into one of those old, narrow-minded
and mothball smelling institutions of a bygone era. I am
all for museums, clubs and other institutions as long as
they will not try to hijack or take control the hippies.
Young hippies must be free from the dictates of old
hippies, who have forgotten what true freedom was when
they were young, on the road, away from their family
homes, or down and out somewhere looking for a place to
crash for the night.

Pope
Benedict's Visit
Thursday, May 25, 2006
During WW 2 and
during the Vietnam War in the 60s the Catholic Church did
not speak out on the wars. Priests and nuns who
participated in anti-war or civil rights marches were
often transferred from big metropolitan areas to small
towns where they wouldn't have so much influence on the
locals in the 60s. I like the new Pope Benedict, so far.
He had the guts to tell those narrow-minded Polish
leaders and clerics to get their acts together. He told
them to be more tolerant and told the Clerics not to
mingle in politics as they did.
On the videos (see the links below) I made the group is
playing in front of my home's windows because those who
are monitoring me here had reason to suspect that I was
going play "Highway To Hell" or something like
that when the Pope would be passing by. I'm known for
playing loud music on my stereo and guitar, and people
can often hear it on the street below. I was practicing
"Highway To Hell" all week so they had reason
to suspect I was going to do that. When I moved here
there were very few Americans here. I've done a number of
controversial things, spoken out against the church (in a
98% Catholic country) and also done a few no-nos. But in
spire of all that they've grown to have some respect for
me because many things I foretold came true, and advice I've
given proved to be good advice after a number of years.
In fact, many folks in the States are less tolerant than
what I experienced in Poland. But there are other areas
where there is absolutely no tolerance where we would
certainly expect some. So one has to know what one's
doing when one's here. As opposed to Amsterdam, that is a
synonym of Tolerance, Poland has become a synonym of
Intolerance over the decades.
Wish I could find a way to make a living on the Net so I
could move to Amsterdam that I really love. Anyway, I am
happy to be here in the EU. America has many problems too.
The type of poverty and slums we have in the States I don't
think you'll find anywhere in the EU. The cost of living
isn't that bad here either. But it's just more difficult
to make a buck. I live on less then $4,000 a year because
life for me here is so much cheaper. Still, Warsaw is the
27th most expensive city in the world, and Amsterdam is
the 24th most expensive on the list. In Amsterdam I would
have to earn at least 6 times as much to get by. So, that's
what's keeping me here. In the Middle Ages the Poles were
very tolerant. There were no serious witch hunts here and
people were more reasonable. That's why many Jewish
people moved to Poland and Copernicus, who was also a
Catholic monk wrote the book in which he proved that
Earth spins around the Sun and later it was published in
Amsterdam. But much has changed for the worse since WW2,
and especially since Communist rule. Anyhow, after the
1960's Revolution I was fortunate enough to experience
another major revolution in Europe. The Solidarity
revolution took down the Berlin wall and put an end to
the Soviet block. Now I wonder, what's going be next? I
haven't got a clue.

May Day
Monday, May 3, 2006
It has been
almost a groovy week of May Day holidays here in Europe.
The Holidays began on 30th of April with the Queen's Day
celebrations in Amsterdam, Holland, which is one of the
gayest holidays in Europe. Then we had Walpurga Night
also called Beltane, its more ancient name. After that it
was the First of May holiday, also the day that
commemorated Poland's membership in the EU. Guess that
was done on purpose to keep the holiday. Then the Second
of May was Flag Day. And finally, today (Third of May) we
have Polish Constitution Day when we celebrate the world's
second oldest Constitution drawn in 1788, and signed
later in 1791 by a Polish King, who was a Free Mason. So,
including Saturday - April 29th it's been five days of
work-free government holidays including Saturday.
The Sun is shinning today but it's cold as for this time
of year. I remember that about a decade age at this time
we used to go nude sunbathing at some nearby beaches. But
the climate has changed in more ways then one here and it's
still a bit too cold to even go bike riding. Though some
people do. So as you see, the First of May is still
celebrated in this region of the world. It's just been
transformed to a new form of being and dressed in new
symbols. And the color red (color of Summer, joy, fire,
warmth, procreation, energy, life-giving blood) is still
prevalent on that day as it has been throughout thousands
of years. It is a continuation of a tradition that is
coded in the genes of most people in European and one
that will be continued for the next thousands of years to
come.

The
Philosophy Of Trash
Sunday, April 30, 2006
"Now"
is an edge or a groove where the Past and Future join
together. But Time's drag effect on the substance of the
Past causes the Past to slowly ware away (ware out, ware
off, fade away) and decay. The Future is built on the
Past. That is why people try to find answers to new
problems in the Past. So, a search for clues to new
answers for new problems takes people back to the past.
Very rarely things in time are identical because the
alchemy of each moment in time is different. Thus, the
many connections become different. Even if only one small
detail is changed the situation and results will become
unpredictably different.
In the not too distant future there may also be some
genetic problems that may be resolved only through time
travel. And some level of such technology may be
developed. But time will prove to be the only thing
mankind will have not much control of. Time will always
control us. Time may only yield some of its kindness and
secrets to us in some way.
A time like the sixties, and especially 1969 will not
come by again for a long while. That's because the seeds
laid at that time have not fully blossomed yet. They
require much more time to mature. That's why many people
in different fields of interests and studies will be
going through the trash of those days looking for
inspiration and answers.
As for us, I think we need to take a break from all this
overly intellectual and mind-blowing psycho-spiritual and
analytic stuff once in a while to revitalized our neuron's
energy i.e. we need to chill-out a bit. In my Trashy
Philosophy, we come from Cosmic Trash, Feed on It and
will be recycled into another form of It. So, when we
come down to the source of things in the Universe, Trash
will always be at the end or top of the list, even in
physics. So, lets be honest about our "trashy"
nature. And be proud of who or what we are. Anything else
would be a lie.
Have a "groovy" day!

The
Future
Saturday, April 29, 2006
What may be
coming in the future? Humans as well as animals are able
to sense some future coming events. The most obvious
characteristic is in a subconscious sensing of dangerous
or frightening coming events. It is characterized in a
feeling of tension and anxiety before an earthquake or a
disturbing sight, for example. So, lets hope that while
humans experience such feelings of tension and anxiety
they won't shoot themselves in the head i.e. bring about
a global, self-destructive conflict, because we are
witnessing a lot of these types of signs of tension and
anxiety around the world today.
So, what disturbing coming events may earthlings be
sensing? Lets put it this way, if we don't get hit by a
meteorite, an event that may draw nations together if
noticed early enough (because as some leaders know,
people unite in the face of a catastrophe) then we may be
faced with a large scale global flood. Something that has
happened on our planet many times before in the past.
Some of the characteristic factors that may precede such
floods were described in a Gilgamash story of the great
flood. It was later carried over from there to the Bible.
One of the characteristic things that preceded it was a
problem of overpopulation, and the other was ignorance
about the telltale signs coming from the environment
itself. Overpopulation is the source of mass consumption,
and a rising interest in homosexuality is a way Mother
Nature tries to correct the problem. For that reason, a
rise in homosexualism is a sign of environmental problems
and should not be condemned. In the past, it was wrongly
blamed for environMental catastrophes that it preceded.
As population growth continues all sorts of pollution
reaches all layers of our atmosphere. So, I think we
should start thinking more about the coming of a great
flood now. This news will not unite nations or make most
people aware of environmental problems enough to change
the course of things. That's because, as it was in the
passed it is still now that people tend to ignore things
that have little value in their everyday life focused on
consumption, that we need to survive. And usually, when
they're faced with the facts it's often a bit late. Then,
those who predicted such coming events are often said to
have had some superhuman powers or to have come from some
divine region of their imaginary world of beliefs. In
reality, if one were to raise his or her mind above one's
small world and free oneself from all kinds of
preconceptions one would notice some of these global
trends in development as plainly as one sees what is
going on in his own neighborhood.
To sum it up. It looks like we're on some kind of
collision course. Perhaps this is a way Mother Nature
regulates or overcomes human overpopulation when it gets
out of hand. Something like our immunity system
overcoming some forms of bacteria growth. I'm afraid that
now that things are spinning as they are it's a bit late
and difficult to stop them. It will take long for them to
calm down but before that things will get worse and as I
said we're on a collision course. But even I don't know
what form it will take on. The natural environment is out
of balance because of over population and mass
consumption, political situations and economics are also
falling out of control... A rise of interest in
homosexuality is a way Mother Nature tries to control or
reduce the population growth. The only thing she's
interested in is in finding an inner balance. She will do
whatever is necessary to get that balance even if it will
involve the destruction of life on our Planet. She thinks
only about her own well being. All we really are, are
products of her elements (Star Dust) and ones that she
can do with as she pleases.

Without
Darkness There Would Be No Light
And Vice Verse
Monday, April 24, 2006
Generally
speaking, I am a follower of a path that lays beyond the
left, right or the middle paths. Between darkness and
light are all the other shades of gray and all the colors
of the rainbow. Darkness and light are extremes that are
disconnected from the nature of things. Though, sometimes
we need to experience them, prolonged existence in them
can lead to all sorts of deviations.
We know only what we can perceive with our 5 or 6 senses.
There's a lot more out there that we will not know about
yet for a good reason. If our kind survives another
million or more years it will naturally evolve to a
higher level and develop the psycho-physical means for a
broader perception of the Universe that surrounds us. We
will then gain greater understanding of the Universe,
become better masters of it, and the knowledge that we
are the Universal Consciousness or God will be just plain
old unquestionable common knowledge. So, there's a pot at
the end of the rainbow. But the question that's on
everyone's mind right now is "will humankind survive
that long?" And it is a good question that everyone
should have in mind.

The
Earth
Saturday, April 22, 2006
In the beginning
I should explain that in my worldview the Universe is a
manifestation of the Primal Energy called "Maya"
in Vedanta or "Shakti" in Tantra and Shaiva
schools of thought. In this worldview, matter is a
condensed form of energy somewhat like it was expressed
in Einstein's E=mc2 formula.
It's amazing how some people try to figure out the most
advanced theories about God, The Universe and life after
death, and yet fail to understand the most obvious and
basic realities of life. And those are that the Earth,
Our Mother and Father is where we come from, is what
supports us everyday and is also what slowly destroys us
everyday. And finally, that it is the home that we never
really left behind, and yet we are destined to return to
in the end. That is, if there is such a thing as an end.
The consciousness in us is a product of the Earth and
should not distance itself far from it or the Universe
the Earth is a part of. Otherwise it may get lost in its
own fantasy world. And that's pretty much the problem we're
facing on our Planet today.

The Myth
Of 1960s Happy Hippie Busses
Saturday, March 4, 2006
There are many
misconceptions about the 1960s America. One of them I
think is about happy hippie busses painted in flowers,
peace signs and colorful psychedelic designs. As I
remember, driving such obviously hippie owned vehicles in
the 60s was not exactly a happy experience for some. It
was a definite giveaway to the cops (Police) that there
goes a vehicle full of hippies, who surely must have
drugs and are most probably driving under the influence of
drugs. Owning such a vehicle was a cool thing but in most
of the United States it was a rather unpleasant
experience on the road; unless if you did not have any
drugs with you and did not mind frequent Police searches. America
in the 1960s was not in any way like Holland is or was
in the past for hippies and counter-culturists. Hippies
were often stopped by cops on American streets. I even
heard of Police strip searches of some hippies on the
streets of some liberal metropolitan American cities such
as Chicago. The situation was far worse in the Southern
Belt States where hippies were treated like anti-American
elements, communists and social degenerates.

Spared
by God
Sunday, February 5, 2006
Lately, we have had the
worst in history earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons,
hurricanes, tornados, floods and other disasters in
places on our planet where scientists least expected them.
Yet, notice that in those places where they were most
expected they did not occur. Has God spared San Francisco,
Los Angeles and all other areas lying on the fault? And
for how long? Yet, everyone knows that a big earthquake
is bound to happen there sooner or later because of the
fault. Still, people are confident that they will be
spared by the grace of God. So they live for the while
and prices of real-estate are going up, more people are
settling there etc. Perhaps that's because the folks who
live there are very religious, go to church often and
abide by the ten Commandments. I don't think so. So, why
has God not done what was predicted by so many so called
prophets or psychics? Perhaps God (He or She) likes the
beat culture, beatniks, hippies, lesbians, gays, sex,
drugs and rock & roll etc. that these metropolitan
areas are so well known for. Or perhaps it's all just an
illusion, and a big earthquake is nothing more then a
chance in a lottery not dictated by any supreme being.
Any way, it's something to think about before switching
on that operating system or software your mind is working
on.

Kama
Sutra virus
Thursday, February 2, 2006
Tomorrow the Kama Sutra
virus is supposed to activate itself and delete all Word,
Excel and other Microsoft Office files. There are
theories that such viruses are produced by anti-virus
companies or competitive companies that want to discredit
Microsoft and take over their market. Also I have noticed
that most of these large scale attacks occur with the
beginning of the year. The question that comes to mind is
that if those people are capable of such acts than they
should not be trusted. Personally, I like Microsoft
products and Bill Gates and these types of attacks just
confirm me at that. And I am not saying that just because
Bill Gates is visiting my town in Poland today.

The
concept of "addiction to oil"
Thursday, February 2, 2006
Wasn't I the first, or at
least one of the first to use the concept of "addiction
to oil" before G.W. Bush used it in his State Of The
Union speech just two
days ago? I noticed earlier some other spins off other
things I mentioned in my blogs or discussion groups
before hearing about them on CNN or in the British
Parliament, for example. But I took it for an coincidence.
But aren't there just too many coincidences now? I had no
idea that the word could spread so quickly and easily,
and to such places. And it does gives me a sense of
reward, or at least an illusion of having done something
for the world; though others have taken credit for it.
However, I do realize my limitations and that my texts
are not suitable for the masses. Besides that, I do not
wish to be famous. So, I am happy with things as they are.
But, please don't expect too much from me, because I
become none-productive when I am under pressure or am
having trouble tackling some earthly problems.
I wish I could draw, because sometimes I also get ideas
that I would like to illustrate graphically. The
illustration I have in mind now is one with a map of the
world. And on that map I'd like to draw two syringes with
hypodermic needles. One syringe needle would point from
Moscow, to Germany and Western Europe. This needle would
symbolize the Russian pipelines, of course. And the
second needle would point from Afghan region to the
Western World. I guess that would illustrate it all in a
nutshell.

Holocaust in Europe. Perhaps, some of you know what that
place was. I cannot forget on this day members of my

Please
help our friend!
Friday, January 27, 2006
I'd like to draw
your attention to one sad fact. And please don't take
this personally but correct me if I'm wrong. While some
people have gained recognition for services rendered for
their Country, for some reason no one I know from the
1960s Peace movement has been given such official recognition.
In fact, not only that, but today as in the past some of
us are being monitored on the Web 24/7, spied on like as
if we posed some National threat, and have also found their
names on blacklists at airports etc.
It is amazing how much more insight and understanding participants
of anti-war movements have of certain strategies our
nation should have taken compared to advisers who
pocketed tens of thousand of dollars for inaccurate
interpretation of intelligence and wrong advice laughing
all the way to the bank or the Whitehouse. And it is a
sad thing that some of our 1960s heads literally have
to bag to survive today. These are the same people who
made America what it is or rather what it was known for,
when it was an example of freedom, tolerance, respect for
human rights, democracy and a symbol of victory of the
oppressed minorities. Americans expected or even demanded
others to meet its own high standards that it stood for.
So, I'd like to ask you to please help a 1960s hippy
friend, who is a Holocaust survivor, an internationally
known Peace activist and a close friend of many heads
from the 1960s Peace Movement like Abbie Hoffman, for
example. Please visit his radical anti-Bush website at www.pieman.org and Donation whatever you
can. We cannot allow our aging human rights heroes to be
pushed around in our Country and to have to bag.
Wake up America!
The next subject we should take up is Internet Monitoring,
which I have had some personal first hand opportunity to
study on my own PCs over a number of years. By the way,
they don't install Web Beacons or spyware, they just
track your PC's processor number, and I think Yahoo is
involved in this business of following people around the

Eastern Europe has brought about cutoffs and limitations
of gas deliveries from Russian. This was preceded by
cutting of Russian supplies to the Ukraine. And then by
limiting and cutting supplies to Georgia and other
countries.
Maryelle
Demongeot writes for Reuters Press:
"Gas supplies
from Russia, disrupted at the start of the year by a
pricing dispute with Ukraine, returned to the spotlight
at the weekend after explosions knocked out the main
pipeline to Georgia. Exports to Europe were already
running below normal due to bitterly cold conditions in
Russia... European supplies were also low, forcing some
countries to turn to oil-based heating or power
generation fuels just as temperatures in the United
Kingdom and Northwest Europe are set to head below
freezing, the Met Office said on Friday... Ukraine said
last week it was forced to tap more Russian gas from
pipelines across its territory due to cold weather, while
Italy said supplies from Russia were not enough to meet

Bolivia
chooses freedom from oppression
Sunday, January 22, 2006
Bolivia chooses freedom from so called "American
imperialist oppression". A truly historical moment
in terms of the world, where a small and poor country
shows the finger to the mighty guardian of the world and
chooses the interests of its own indigenous people over
the interests its egocentric neighbors. It also chooses
the first in its history American Indian as its leader.
In the process, Bolivia's newly elected President Evo
Morales has no choice but to join Fidel Castro and the
Axel Of Evil. I wonder if Axel Rose wouldn't consider
doing some cheritable concerts and PR work for poor
Bolivia? Liberta, Liberta, Liberta... read about it, more info
OK. I
know you're thinking why don't you move there? Well, even
though Bolivia is a beautiful country with the people
there are wonderful I wouldn't move there because I am
not functioning well where I am now. So, I have no idea
how I would get by there. But it's good to see that there
are places in the world where the weak have the balls to
show peaceful and democratic opposition to the strong by
choosing freedom, even though it may sometimes cost them
dearly.
