BTW I read the plot of Moscow Does not Believe in Tears in the linked Wikipedia article -- parts of it was vaguely, the final scene was very familiar. I think I must have seen it, at least 20 years ago. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
But, this is trippy: I was at home on a winter day in Moscow, helping babysit the little sister of the girl I lived with, and that song came on the radio! It was a very surreal experience... "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
!? Methinks it's "we will protect you" Reagan who could believe that, not Sting! *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
"We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the russians love their children too"
"Mr. Reagan says we will protect you I dont subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the russians love their children too"
I'm not saying I disagree with the political statement, obviously (see the huge gigantic anti-cold war diary I wrote.)
If I said, I hope Jerome loves his children, you'd think, Well, of course he does!! Of course he does. Of course the Russians do to. Why even throw that out there? It's absurd. "Pretending that you already know the answer when you don't is not actually very helpful." ~Migeru.
That exactly was Sting's point against Reagan. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I dont subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the russians love their children too
