elena - with all due respect, only in the topsy turvy world of eastern
european priviligentsia survival and fear of physical harm accounts for
nothing and politics - for everything.  

a few years ago, i had a conversation with a polish university professor
who staunchly supported the dismantling of state-owned farms.  when i
pointed to her many negative social consequences of that politically
motivated move, she ardently replied "why should i support inefficient
farming with my taxes."  

That sentence epitomizes the state of mind of the eastern european
schmoozing class - paper pushers "supporting" food producers.  as i see it,
they are in a dire need of a forced labor camp - just as bat'ushka Stalin
prescribed.
