I wonder if the swine I am going to encounter have as much fun? Who cares. I'll be smiling back at them.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410045398729979497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-16366256879665701602011-04-23T15:46:16.644+01:002011-04-23T15:46:16.644+01:00Way too much poetic license in the Hockey story.
...Way too much poetic license in the Hockey story.<br /><br />The Soviet Union teetered on collapse from almost the moment it was created. The US government bailed them out time after time, in the '20's, '30's, '40's, and all during World War Two.<br /><br />It was only when the US government's perception of the Soviet Union was so far off that no bail out occurred, the Soviet Union collapsed in on itself. Without the US government's help, it would have collapsed 70 years earlier.<br /><br />I understand what Alvie is trying to do and I heartily approve, but suspension of disbelief has its limits.Pat H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18297461069687246149noreply@blogger.com
