Ikhti, you have paranoia; you see a universal conspiracy everywhere.

This kind of "paranoia" isn't unique to me. All regular LiveJournal users know the term "Kremlinbot" and can explain what it is in detail. Is it mass paranoia? You can use such a simplistic argument to counter any statement, but it's not very helpful.

— And God save you — don't read Soviet newspapers before lunch.
— Hmm… But there are no others.
— Then don't read any. I conducted 30 observations in my clinic. And what do you think? Patients who don't read newspapers feel great. Those I specifically forced to read "Pravda" lost weight. Moreover, they had reduced knee reflexes, poor appetite, and a depressed mood.
