1,000 enemies a day, or, the logging camps are quite nice this time of year



The caption for this Soviet poster (from a Stalin speech, 1935) is Staff Makes Absolutely All The Difference--which is true. Who will slaughter the kulaks for you if not for your minions in Ukraine? In our house, I alternate between feeling like staff for three of my own dictators and assuming the mantle of despotism myself. Neither is attractive, helpful or healthy. I need to relax more, eat more chocolate, and not worry about the small stuff. Didn't somebody once say that it's all small stuff?
