Idiots
Roughly translated quote from some Russian talk-show last night: "if we trust in Russian industries - we should enforce protectionism". WTF? Does this guy really think that Russian industries will suddenly start to flourish if they just close the borders? Or 70 years of "socialism" didn't teach him anything?
Think of the children, again
New "thinkofthechildren" law. I really don't like where it's all going.
If this law will be passed (and who really have the balls to oppose "thinkofthechildren" law) - everyone who runs WiFi router at home will be a criminal by default and not just some misdemeanor kind - sex offender kind. I'm sure no one will go and actively prosecute people for that, but if need be - look, suddenly you are aiding pedophiles, he must be a pedophile himself, burn him at the stake. Prosecutors have a very nasty habit of stretching the law to "bring people to justice". In this case they won't even have to stretch far.
This country seriously needs huge injection of common sense and responsibility.
