Protesters in Kiev knocked down a statue of Vladimir Lenin on Sunday as outrage mounted over the government's suspension of talks with the European Union.
A crowd of cheering protesters chanted "Good job" after the statue fell.
Pieces of the statue were on the ground. Only parts of the Soviet hero's legs remained at the base. A man waving a Ukrainian flag stood atop the pedestal beside them.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
I don't understand this. Why aren't the Ukranians thankful to the Soviets for taking all their food in decades past,and thus keeping them slim and healthy instead of fat and suffering from high cholesterol,heart disease,diabetes,etc,etc,etc?
Some people are just ungrateful no matter what you do for them!
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
