An old woman with a broo...'What do you<BR/>mean by ruin? An old woman with a broomstick? A witch who smashes all the<BR/>windows and puts out all the lights? No such thing. What do you mean by that<BR/>word?' Philip Philipovich angrily enquired of an unfortunate cardboard duck<BR/>hanging upside down by the sideboard, then answered the question himself.<BR/>'I'll tell you what it is: if instead of operating every evening I were to<BR/>start a glee club in my apartment, that would mean that I was on the road to<BR/>ruin. If when I go to the lavatory I don't pee, if you'll excuse the<BR/>expression, into the bowl but on to the floor instead and if Zina and Darya<BR/>Petrovna were to do the same thing, the lavatory would be ruined. Ruin,<BR/>therefore, is not caused by lavatories but it's something that starts in<BR/>people's heads. So when these clowns start shouting "Stop the ruin!" - I<BR/>laugh!' (Philip Philipovich's face became so distorted that the doctor's<BR/>mouth fell open.) 'I swear to you, I find it laughable! Every one of them<BR/>needs to hit himself on the back of the head and then when he has knocked<BR/>all the hallucinations out of himself and gets on with sweeping out<BR/>backyards - which is his real job - all this "ruin" will automatically<BR/>disappear. You can't serve two gods! You can't sweep the dirt out of the<BR/>tram tracks and settle the fate of the Spanish beggars at the same time! No<BR/>one can ever manage it, doctor - and above all it can't be done by people<BR/>who are two hundred years behind the rest of Europe and who so far can't<BR/>even manage to do up their own fly-buttons properly!'<BR/><BR/>Michael Bulgakov. «The dog heart»<BR/><A>http://ua-ru-news.blogspot.com/2009/01/shvonders-struggle-with-crisis.html</A>Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981634320986169891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113489175052250898.post-15738757901089873892008-11-30T23:14:00.000+02:002008-11-30T23:14:00.000+02:00So - just when the people are beginnning to catch ...So - just when the people are beginnning to catch on to what the "political elite" are doing - change the system, invent a new card game, shuffle the cards, in an attempt to confuse the public and keep oligarchs and the "political elite" in power.<BR/><BR/>How absolutely cynical, odious and disgusting!<BR/><BR/>It's just one long, continuous chess/card game.<BR/><BR/>What is really ironic is that all of the chief snakes - Yanukovych, Lytvyn, Tymoshenko, etc., keep mouthing the words "we need to work for the country, instead of worrying about our own personal ambitions and government posts."<BR/><BR/><BR/>One thing for sure - you can count on the fact that whatever they say, they mean exactly the opposite.<BR/><BR/>The snakes in the snake pit just keep hissing at each other.<BR/><BR/>If they were truly concerned about the country, rather than their own personal government posts or ambitions, they would have come to a resolution by now.<BR/><BR/>It's the sovok way - think one thing, say another, and do a third.<BR/><BR/>And keep a mask on your face at all times, as if you're telling the truth, even when it's not.<BR/><BR/>The sovoks really did a number on the people in Ukraine, and throughout the sovok system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
