In the old Soviet Union they used to say: 'Life in Soviet Union is a workers' paradise, only someone mentally ill would dispute this!' I am starting to know how Soviet dissents likely the physicist Andrei Sakarov the 1975 Nobel Peace laureate felt. Dr Sakarov criticised USSR foreign and domestic policy, this was a clear sign of his lunacy said the Politburo, and Pravda loyally and dutifully informed the people: 'Comrades, Comrade Dr Sakarov is mentally deranged, please pay no attention to his ramblings. The wicked, decadent West is shamelessly encouraging this poor man's ravings by awarding him a Nobel Prize. Comrades, behold the lengths the bloated, bourgeois West will go to to undermine the glorious Workers' paradise that is the USSR! Comrades please be assured that comrade Sakarov will receive the very best treatment in our glorious psychiatric system.'
As for people who keep saying 'but these things were debunked years ago', err, no they weren't. I saw a programme over here that sought to explain the American flag waving, twisting and fluttering, when there is no atmosphere on the moon. What they did was spread sand on the floor in the experiment - to simulate moondust! - then they assured the viewers that ALL windows and doors were closed. In this 'experiment' the flag moved and swayed, and the presenters said 'look the flag is moving and ALL doors and windows are shut! There that finally explains how the flag moved, swayed, waved and fluttered on the moon'. AND people at home said 'yeah, explain that away you doubting Moon loons?!'
P.S. I clearly have a big ego because I just completely assumed that people were (1) aware of my presence at Susans. (2) Following my threads and would see that I have changed my username, which isn't against the rules btw.
