About Putin

[justoleme]

Well. I am glad you added that information. I think he would not make an effort to be in the churches if he had no interest. I think he knows he has the power already and need not go to make a show to get friends.

I canT have an opinoin on just how religiose Putin is,but there'are some things he absolutly have to do or be in order for Russians to follow him.Keep in mind that Russia is neither West and nor East.It rejects eastern-tipe of tiranny as well as western-tipe democracy.Russia has it's own thing going.

There are times I wonder about Mr Putin. But lately I get to thinking he may be a good man in many ways. I never was a fan of communism and wondered if he would go back that way. But he seems to have better ideas than that.When I saw him in those churches I liked him a lot better. Now the Russians seem to be going through a stage like Americans did long ago. They create new things.They try new things. They take risk and build a lot of new buildings.They have freedoms ( I THINK) that we no longer have here now. It is sort of like a new frontier where people make new discoveries. I like that. . It is sort of an adventure and Russians are not afraid to try new things. <> To me.Here in my country. We are controlled by a class of people that are clerks more than anything else.

are you sure it'a a class and not an ethnic group,justo?

[justoleme]

I really don't know. I do know this. Much info comes from TV here. They seemed to have invented the ethnic cleaning word. They spoke of that a lot.I don't listen to TV much though. Because in the minds of the people who run the TV systems they refer to me as a redneck.They certainly would like to dispose of me as quickly as they could. They need not tell me directly. I can read the writing on the wall. Those who work with their hands are called rednecks.They fear to call the black males rednecks. But they don't want us here in the country.

[katorzhanin]

as a fellow redneck a can only regret that in this great country some people are allowed to play by different rules than others. what really pisses me off is we HAVE to feed the dawg that bites owr hand every chance it gets.

If you look at TV.I have not in awhile. But you can see that the average people are not represented in good style.People like builders ,Engineers and welders. Carpenters,Electricians.They are made to look like idiots if they are on TV. That kind made the USA wealthy in the past. Now they are considered trash. The people glorified on TV are clerk types.Doctors.Lawyers and bigshots who pretend to be educated but are really idiots.
