I found the longer I looked at it the more I liked it.[/quote] You guys might be surprised, but after a few business trips "beyond the Iron Curtain"... NOBODY in his right mind will say they're sorry Communism fell ! In the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) Communist Propaganda is actually banned by law! Elsewhere (Romania, Moldavia, Ukraine, but also in Poland, Hungary) there may be parties linked to ethic groups (i.e. the "Russian" Party) especially when these ethnicities are local minorities, but Russia seems to be the only Country where there is a "Communist Party" officially present in Parliament ... ... but they are such a sheer minority, it's like the followers of Ralph Nader or Ron Paul for President... Not that I care about either one, it's just to give you an idea of the proportions. :) |

Title: Re: Russian memorial gift Post by 05 Suzi on 07/20/10 at 08:54:28 " WWII military origin and that the balls are the knobs on aircraft joy sticks. Pushing them as far as they can go, i.e. against the wall of the plane, caused it to go flat out." However, growing up in Florida, on the "redneck/cowboy" side of the tracks, I thought it was rather humerous, in a rocky mountain oyster way. ::) |

Bingo. When the steam engine is running wide open, the governor balls are as far out as possible, as near to the walls as they'll ever be. |
