Unfortunately... Very realistic...
The Fable of the Ducks and the Hens
Many, many years ago
When animals could speak,
A wondrous thing the ducks befell;
Their tale is quite unique.
Down by a pond dwelt all these ducks
Ten thousand at the least
Their duckish joys were undisturbed
By any man or beast.
One day down near the entrance gate
There was an awful din
A hundred hens all out of breath
Were begging to come in.
"Oh let us in" these poor birds cried
"Before we do expire!
'Tis only by the merest inch
That we escaped the fire!"
Their feathers burned, their combs adroop
They were the saddest sight.
They'd run a hundred miles or more,
All day and then all night.
"Come in! Come in!" the ducks all quacked,
"For you our hearts do bleed!
We'll share our happy lot with you;
Just tell us what you need!"
And so these poor bedraggled hens
Amongst the ducks moved in.
"For after all," the ducks declared,
"We're sisters 'neath the skin."
Before too many months had lapsed,
The hens were good as new.
They sent for all their rooster friends,
And those were welcomed too.
To please their hosts, these chickens tried
To waddle and to quack.
To imitate the duckish ways,
They quickly learned the knack.
This pleased the flock of ducks because
It gratified their pride.
But hear my tale and learn how they
Got taken for a ride.
The ducks, it seemed, spent all their time
In fixing up the place,
In growing food and building homes
And cleaning every space.
They asked the hens what they would do
To earn their daily bread.
"We'll teach and write and entertain
And buy and sell," they said.
And so these hens began to teach
The baby ducks and chicks.
They traded food and eggs and things,
With many clever tricks.
They wrote great books and put on shows
Of genius they'd no lack.
It wasn't long till chickens owned
The Duckville Daily Quack.
One day a mother duck who took
Her ducklings to the lake,
Was flabbergasted when one said,
"A swim I will not take!"
"Why duckling's always swim" she gasped,
"It's what you're built to do!
Like bunnies hop, and crickets chirp,
And cows most always moo!"
"You're nuts!" her son replied,
"That stuff is all old hat!
It's wrong for birds to swim, besides
It's damn cold on my prat!"
"Oh fie!" the mother duck exclaimed,
"You're talking like a fool!"
Up quacked the other ducklings then:
"He's right! We learned in school!"
"Such talk must stop!" the mother cried,
"Those hens can't tell such lies!
For sheer ingratitude and nerve,
I'm sure this takes the prize!"
But she was wrong, for even then
The hens did thump the tub
Demanding they be let into
The Duckville Swimming Club.
"But you don't swim!" the ducks exclaimed,
"To join, why should you care?"
"That's not the point" the hens replied,
"To exclude us isn't fair!"
The younger ducks, who'd been to school
Agreed right there and then:
"To keep them out is bigotry!
'Twould just be anti-hen!"
Outnumbered by the younger ducks,
The old ducks soon did lose.
The hens could join the Swimming Club,
If they would pay the dues.
That night the Duckville Daily Quack
Contained this banner spread:
"REACTIONARY DUCKS ARE LICKED!
DUCKVILLE MOVES AHEAD!"
Down at the Duckville Gaity,
The young set laughed with glee,
At cracks about "old fuddy ducks"
In burlesque repartee.
Next day the hens were at the Club;
A petition they'd sent round
They objected to the Swimming Fund
With fury and with sound.
"You use our dues to fix the pond,
To keep it neat and trim
And this is wrong" they said, "because
You know we do not swim!"
"God help us!" exclaimed a wise old duck,
"Those chickens have gone mad!
We'll take this thing to court, by George!
And justice will be had!"
But when they went before the judge,
Imagine their dismay!
A chicken judge decreed that they
A heavy fine must pay!
"Minorities must have their rights!"
The judge declared right then
"To use hens' dues to fix the pond
Is very anti-hen!"
Once more the Duckville Daily Quack
Emblazoned 'cross the page:
"OLD FUDDY DUCKS REFUSE TO SEE
THE GREAT NEW COMING AGE!"
In Duckville's church, on Sunday morn
The preacher spoke these words:
"Discrimination's got to stop!
Remember, we're all birds!"
The wisest duck in all the town
Sat down in black despair
"I'll write a book," he thought, "and then
This madness I will bare!"
"Let swimmers swim, let hoppers hop,
Let each go his own way
Let none coerce a fellow bird!"
Was what he had to say.
"'Twas wrong to force the hens to swim,
So here's the problem's crux:
It's just as bad for hens to try
To chickenize our ducks!"
"I can't print that" the printer said
"'Twill put me in a mess!
My shop is mortgaged to the hens
The chickens own my press!"
This worried duck then tried to warn
His friends by speech and pen,
But young ducks fresh from school just jeered,
"He's a vicious anti-hen!"
Now up the stream a little way
Was Gooseville, on the lake
The hens had come to Gooseville too,
But the geese were more awake.
When the hens began to spoil the young
And Gooseville's laws to flout,
The geese rose up in righteous wrath
And simply threw them out.
Of course you know where they all ran;
On Duckville they converged
"We've got to take these refugees"
Was what the ducks all urged.
The Duckville Daily Quack declared:
"Those geese will stop at naught!
They plan to conquer all the world!
Atrocities they've wrought!"
"That's right!" the young ducks all agreed,
"We'll help our fellow birds!
Those geese have plans to conquer us!
We've read the Quack's own words!"
They let the hens from Gooseville in,
The whole bedraggled pack
And every hen took up a job
On Duckville's Daily Quack.
When Duckville's Mayor's term was up,
The Quack put up its duck;
A vain and stupid duck he was,
A veritable cluck!
But when he praised the wild young ducks
And cursed the evil geese,
The Quack declared he was "all-wise"
His praise would never cease.
The hens chipped in to help this cluck
Give grain away for free
The old ducks sadly shook their heads,
The writing they could see.
And sure enough, this stupid duck,
He was elected Mayor
From this point on, the Duckville ducks,
They never had a prayer.
The Mayor said, "Gooseville must go!
We'll wipe them off the map!"
While Duckville slept, the scheming hens
For Gooseville set a trap.
They called the geese by filthy names;
They filled their pond with sticks
They helped the weasels catch the geese,
And other hennish tricks.
The geese got mad and threw some rocks,
"IT'S WAR!" the Quack announced:
"We ducks must fight those evil geese
Till they've been soundly trounced!"
The ducks (who knew not of the tricks
Indulged in by the Mayor)
Were filled with patriotic zeal,
And pitched right in for fair.
Now when the ducks had whipped the geese
The Mayor called "Retreat!
Our Henville friends should really take
Goosevilles's big main street!"
The hens are back in Gooseville now;
They starved and beat the geese
They prayed for peace but organized
The Henville Armed Police.
They drained the Gooseville swimming pond;
And 'De-goose-ified' the schools,
They wrung the neck of Gooseville's Mayor
On lately made up rules.
They formed a council of the hens,
'United Birds' the name
The other birds who joined the thing
Did not perceive their game.
No sooner had they set this up,
Than they announced their plan
To seize up Swanville as a home
For all their hennish clan.
They took a vote amongst the hens,
And every one approved!
"Swanville was for hens!" they said,
"Way back, before we moved."
And so they kicked the swans all out
With Duckville's help and power
And Duckville could not understand
Why swans on them turned sour.
By this time, Duckville was a mess;
The young ducks had gone mad
They stole and laughed at truth and law
They'd gone completely bad.
The hens were selling loco weed
In every nasty den
But ducks who dared to mention this
Were labelled 'anti-hen.'
The hens all preached of 'Tolerance';
They invoked the 'Golden Rule'
But they subsidized the indigent,
The greedy and the fool.
At last the very dumbest ducks
Began to smell a rat
"This Mayor is no good" they cried
"And we will soon fix that!"
But the hens had planned for even this
A candidate they had,
Whom even wise old ducks believed
Just never could be bad.
This hen-tool duck had whipped the geese;
A soldier duck was he
Although the hens had set him up,
The ducks all thought him free.
This hen-tool got elected,
Through ignorance and greed,
Through hennish lies in press and speech
And bribes of 'chicken feed.'
The hens now kicked the ducks around,
Without a blush of shame
Until the Mayor ran the town
In nothing else but name.
They pumped the swimming pond all dry;
They taught the ducks to crow
While duckish numbers dwindled,
The hens began to grow.
The hens stirred up the happy crows
From out the piney wood
To fight and mix and marry ducks
In the name of 'Brotherhood.'
Things got so bad that fifty ducks
Who knew of days gone by,
Took up their wives and children
And decided that they'd fly.
They flew through storm and tempest;
They froze, and many died
But on they drove, until at last
A lovely lake they spied.
They settled down exhausted,
But soon went straight to work
To build and clear and cultivate,
No danger did they shirk.
Now after many years of toil,
This little band had grown
The fields around were full of grain
From seeds that they had sown.
The first ducks now were long since dead;
Their struggles long had ceased
Through hard work and through suffering
Their joys had been increased.
One day down near the entrance gate
There was an awful din
A hundred hens, all out of breath,
Were begging to come in.
"Oh, let us in!" the poor birds cried,
"Before we do expire!
'Tis only by the merest inch..."
This epic really has no end because
No matter how you fight 'em,
Those hens will show up every time
And so... ad infinitum.

Ежик в тумане - Хром в тумане :)
Начиная, помоему с третей версии Хрома, в нем поддерживаются темы. Пока этот механизм не очень продвинут, как всегда в стиле Google - поддержка минималистичная. Например нет прозрачности окна и т.д. Вообщем, это все не важно...
Вот случайно набрел на тему посвященную знаменитому мультфильму "Ежик в тумане" :)
Прикольно :)

Open Source is evil. And not only Open source..
While surfing the news and beyond, faced the Loosing my religion blog post of Chris Messina. Nice post and right to the point. Even more, the same principle is reflected in all other areas, not only Open Source.
Tacitus on this: "In pace consulares, in bello imperatores, in periculo dictatores". English would sound like: President in peace time, General in war time, Dictator in danger time.
Car steer can be given to all if car accident is needed...

AIDS Dilemma
Interesting guy: http://www.duesberg.com/
Almost two decades of unprecedented efforts in research costing US taxpayers over $50 billion have failed to defeat Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and have failed to explain the chronology and epidemiology of AIDS in America and Europe. The failure to cure AIDS is so complete that the largest American AIDS foundation is even exploiting it for fundraising: 'Latest AIDS statistics 0,000,000 cured. Support a cure, support AMFAR.' The scientific basis of all these unsuccessful efforts has been the hypothesis that AIDS is caused by a sexually transmitted virus, termed Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and that this viral immunodeficiency manifests in 30 previously known microbial and non-microbial AIDS diseases.In order to develop a hypothesis that explains AIDS we have considered ten relevant facts that American and European AIDS patients have, and do not have, in common:
- AIDS is not contagious. For example, not even one health care worker has contracted AIDS from over 800,000 AIDS patients in America and Europe.
- AIDS is highly non-random with regard to sex (86% male); sexual persuasion (over 60% homosexual); and age (85% are 25-49 years old).
- From its beginning in 1980, the AIDS epidemic progressed non-exponentially, just like lifestyle diseases.
- The epidemic is fragmented into distinct subepidemics with exclusive AIDS-defining diseases. For example, only homosexual males have Kaposi's sarcoma.
- Patients do not have any one of 30 AIDS-defining diseases, nor even immunodeficiency, in common. For example, Kaposi's sarcoma, dementia, and weight loss may occur without immunodeficiency. Thus, there is no AIDS-specific disease.
- AIDS patients have antibody against HIV in common only by definition-not by natural coincidence. AIDS-defining diseases of HIV-free patients are called by their old names.
- Recreational drug use is a common denominator for over 95% of all American and European AIDS patients, including male homosexuals.
- Lifetime prescriptions of inevitably toxic anti-HIV drugs, such as the DNA chain-terminator AZT, are another common denominator of AIDS patients.
- HIV proves to be an ideal surrogate marker for recreational and anti-HIV drug use. Since the virus is very rare (<>
- The huge AIDS literature cannot offer even one statistically significant group of drug-free AIDS patients from America and Europe.
In view of this, we propose that the long-term consumption of recreational drugs (such as cocaine, heroin, nitrite inhalants, and amphetamines) and prescriptions of DNA chain-terminating and other anti-HIV drugs, cause all AIDS diseases in America and Europe that exceed their long-established, national backgrounds, i.e. >95%. Chemically distinct drugs cause distinct AIDS-defining diseases; for example, nitrite inhalants cause Kaposi's sarcoma, cocaine causes weight loss, and AZT causes immunodeficiency, lymphoma, muscle atrophy, and dementia. The drug hypothesis predicts that AIDS:
- is non-contagious;
- is non-random, because 85% of AIDS causing drugs are used by males, particularly sexually active homosexuals between 25 and 49 years of age, and
- would follow the drug epidemics chronologically.
Indeed, AIDS has increased from negligible numbers in the early 1980s to about 80,000 annual cases in the early '90s and has since declined to about 50,000 cases (US figures). In the same period, recreational drug users have increased from negligible numbers to millions by the late 1980s, and have since decreased possibly twofold. However, AIDS has declined less because since 1987 increasing numbers of mostly healthy, HIV-positive people, currently about 200,000, use anti-HIV drugs that cause AIDS and other diseases. At least 64 scientific studies, government legislation, and non-scientific reports document that recreational drugs cause AIDS and other diseases. Likewise, the AIDS literature, the drug manufacturers, and non-scientific reports confirm that anti-HIV drugs cause AIDS and other diseases in humans and animals. In sum, the AIDS dilemma could be solved by banning anti-HIV drugs, and by pointing out that drugs cause AIDS –modeled on the successful anti-smoking campaign.

Mandatory vaccination...
If they think that vaccination is so necessary and will "save the world", why even medics are scared?
On the other hand they are vaccinating newly born children on mandatory basis. But the medics are still scared...

Наука - Science :)
Американские ученые обнаружили, что морские свинки размножаются гораздо быстрее если им не мешают американские ученые...
American scientists found that guinea pigs are multiplying much faster if american scientists don't prevent them...

Супер фраза :)
"...советские люди поверили западной пропаганде, продали СССР, собрали вещички едут, значит, в "светлое капиталистическое будущее"; приезжают, - а там везде решётки; возвращаются назад, а там пепелище и надпись на иврите "частная собственность"..."

Overpopulation...
Last time I face with issue of overpopulation more and more frequently... This leads to some thoughts.. But any how, here are the findings:
1. Georgia Guidestones - Скрижали Джорджии
2. Mikhail Gorbachev: "We should talk more about sexual life, contraception, abortion, the importance of birth control, ecological crisis, shortly about crisis of population. When we will reduce population by 90%, there will be simply not enough people to cause ecological catastrophe"
Comment: What actually is being done. As it is clearly specified by comrade, "When we will reduce population by 90%" what means that they are already busy with that..
Михаил Горбачёв: "Мы должны больше говорить о половой жизни, контрацепции, об абортах, о важности контроля над рождаемостью, об экологическом кризисе, короче, о кризисе популяции. Вот сократим население на 90%, и просто будет недостаточно людей для того, чтобы вызвать экологическую катастрофу"
Коментарий: Что собственно и делается, как подчеркивает товарищь, "Вот сократим население на 90%" они уже занимаются проблемой сокращения...
3. Jacques-Yves Cousteau: "...World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day..."
Жак-Ив Кусто: "...Мировая популяция должна быть стабилизированна и что бы достичь этого нужно каждый день избавляться от 350,000 человек..."
4. Henry Kissinger: "The politics of United States against to countries of thrid world should be only one - depopulation"
Генри Киссинджер: "Политика США в отношении стран третьего мира должна быть одна - депопуляция"
5. William Cohen: "Contemporary forms of biological weapons can be purposefully aimed against to specific genotypes, so that biological war is converted from uncontrolled horror and terror to the highest degree political instrument"
Уильям Коэн: "Современные формы биологического оружия могут целенаправленно быть направлены против специфических генотипов и превратить биологическую войну из неуправляемого ужаса и террора в высшей мере полезный политический инструмент"
6. Ted Turner: "Earth population of 250-300 millions - 95% of current level - would be ideal"
Тед Тёрнер: "Население Земли в 250-300 миллионов человек - 95% снижение от настоящего уровня - было бы идеальным"
7. Margaret Sanger: “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
Маргарет Зангер: "Наиболее гуманное дело, какое семья могла бы оказать новорождённому - это убить его".
So on... И так далее...
I just wander how does it affect our real life... Просто интиресно на сколько это отражается на нашей повседневной жизни...

О правде...
- Стюарт Каган: - А почему бы вам самому не написать мемуары?
- Лазарь Каганович: - Я не умею писать, да и незачем. Все люди делятся на три части: народ, который никогда не узнает правды и руководители, которые знают правду, но она такая ужасная и далёкая от действительности, что это главная их забота, чтобы кроме них её больше никто не узнал. И есть небольшое количество людей, которые пытаются узнать правду, но они никогда не будут иметь полных доказательств. Руководители старательно уничтожают все улики своей преступной деятельности. Я долго и много боролся в своей жизни. О том, что в действительности происходит или будет происходить, говорить нельзя.
