Everybody has a gripe, it seems

I especially liked the comments on James Bond:

Quote:
 
Russia Today notes that, "The Communists of St Pete and Leningrad Region are known for their strange statements on all important Russian and international events," and this is not their first foray into film criticism. Two years ago they attacked Ukrainian actress Olgo Kurylenko for consorting with "enemy of the Soviet people" James Bond.
Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

HOLY CARP!!!
As I recall, though, Olga did not "consort" with James Bond, if ya know what I mean.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
