The Cold War isn't thawing it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping it is as always plotting scheming working fighting.

I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.

A state that suppresses all freedom of speech and which by imposing the most terrible punishments treats each and every attempt at criticism however morally justified and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason is a state that breaks an unwritten law.

Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.

If I die a violent death as some fear and a few are plotting I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins not in my dying.
