LETTER

Move forward, please! 

A few days before the seven richest countries were getting together to deal with ‘where to go and which way to take’ - forward (where is that?), President Trump insisted Russia (President Putin) be at the table, but the opposition was like the famous Berlin Wall. 

I wondered if President Putin was asking to be included.

Or does Putin know what the elite of (western) democracies do not? Maybe. Let us assume that he had a communist education, and maybe encountered the Yin and Yang, as I had.  His education was similar to mine, including the non-political subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, Astronomy –  these all call at least for ‘ duoset ‘ thinking, or maybe he became aware beyond the duplicity, and entered the multiplicity? 

I watched a program from Lomonosov University, Moscow – interesting!  Maybe Pres. Putin subscribes to the same philosophy as I:  “Democracy is a choice, and the choice is its intangible, intrinsic value of life.” Who knows? He does not say, like the monkey who does not see, hear or speak. Interesting to consider!  

And it makes no sense to mention the President of Brazil here.  Too bad we can’t send them to some form of obedience school. How could anyone screw up so magnificently, now – and forty years ago!

Rasto Hlavina,
