In Virginia, Republican candidate for Governor Bob McDonnell is rightly being lambasted for being as right-wing as can be.
Not that this should have surprised anyone, and especially those who adhere to Gorilla’s Iron Rule Of Youthful Indiscretion:
“Short of going to prison, you can be pretty much any kind of asshole you like until you’re 30, but if you persist thereafter then it’s Katie bar the door”.
In Slovakia, memory lasts longer.
Restricting human rights but not being genocidal, except when it’s completely and justifiably unnecessary, is the post-modern Eastern European’s right of passage.
A monument to yesterday’s persecution is built in every town, but not for Gypsies, because every minority and every majority can, if nothing else, agree about them.
Gorilla doesn’t make the rules: “30 or 300, nothing changes unless it has to, and then it plots revenge!”
