Trash Can

Auto-translated
Let's not get into national comparisons, okay? It's one thing to talk about a group of politicians with a thirst for world domination (if we're talking about the USA), and another thing to talk about citizens who don't want that world domination at all. They just want to live peacefully, without war; they have their own dreams, goals in life, and so on, just like we do. They don't deserve the insults they constantly receive from many Russians, just as we Russians don't deserve possible insults from Americans. It's a completely different matter when it comes to the power-hungry individuals in government, a few people who determine what we call the USA. Out of the 300 million people living in that country, after all.
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.


G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
