Several of our friends have been discussing the recent events in
Russia, wondering WHY IN HELL there is not more of a public outcry
made about how Yeltsin has "taken over." Come on, you don't just
DISSOLVE sections of the government JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T COMPLY
TO YOUR WISHES. So our government just nods their collective heads
and sends letters of congratulations. And leave it up to Joe Bob to
have to bring it to the public sensibility with his excellent
repartee'. So here tis'.

I've got a question.
Why would 19 Parliamentary democracies "praise" a man WHO ABOLISHES
a parliament?
Maybe there's something I don't understand about Yeltsin. Maybe I'm
naive. Maybe I'm a man who sleeps in his underwear. But something
is seriously WRONG here when all the FREE governments of the world,
including our own Newnited States, give three cheers for a guy who's
over there OUTLAWING political parties, closing down newspapers, and
generally acting like...well...kinda like a Commie DICTATOR.
Okay, look, they had this Parliament that had a lot of loudmouth
guys trying to stop all the reforms, right? And a lot of 'em were
Commies. And a lot of 'em were these weirdbeard ultra-right loonies
who wanna bring back the czar. And they didn't give two diddly
squats for the welfare of the country - they just wanted to stop
Yeltsin.
To which I say, SO WHAT? Isn't this the same dang thing that
happens in the Eyetalian Parliament every day of the week? Aren't
these Communists acting exactly like the Communists in the FRENCH
Parliament? Don't all the looney political parties ALWAYS band
together and gang up on the majority party?

But THEY WERE ELECTED, RIGHT? They got their jobs FAIR AND SQUARE,
RIGHT? There were a bunch of Russian citizens who went to the polls
and marked "Commie" on the ballot. So it's not like they're
Stalin's Communists, who never faced a fair election in their lives.
They're just like those racists they always elect in Louisiana.
Everybody shrugs their shoulders and says, "How'd they get elected
again? I didn't vote for 'em. Did you vote for 'em?" But they're
ELECTED, and so they GET TO STAY in the legislature. You don't have
to like 'em. You just have to agree THAT THEY WERE ELECTED.
And so what are you SUPPOSED to do if you don't like the way things
are going in Parliament?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RESIGN!
This triggers new elections.
You're not supposed to MAKE EVERYBODY ELSE RESIGN!
No wonder the guys were holed up in the Parliament building with
Kalashnikov AK-47's.
You know what their number one demand was?
ACCESS TO THE MEDIA.
They didn't wanna KILL Yeltsin. They wanted to BE HEARD.
But, as it turned out, they get their newspaper OUTLAWED. They
ended up in prison. And the Commie Party was ABOLISHED.
Now, in order to make the circle complete, they should all ask for
political ASYLUM in France or Italy, where the Communist Party is
STILL LEGAL.
And as to the Czar-loving right-wingers, they probly feel this is
just "business as usual." Communists, Yelsinites, what DIFFERENCE
does it make?
They all EVENTUALLY THROW YOU IN JAIL.
All this is very Russian and very understandable.
What I don't understand is WHY do WE APPROVE OF IT? I don't think
WE'D REACT the same way if Clinton CANCELED the Congress. Or maybe
we WOULD. Maybe we've ALL BECOME Commies. What are we SAYING in
Russia - that we WANT democracy, but NOT TOO MUCH OF IT JUST YET?
Obviously it's TOO MUCH for me to figure out.
