Reminiscing, Lonesome Loser, Lady, etc. For a time you couldn't walk outside your house and not hear someone playing those songs.

I was not a big fan, but they had great vocal harmonies.

But I know... you're amused because you're American, live there, and quite reasonably believe you must be better informed than people who aren't and don't. I get that However, we believe your media don't tell you everything about many important matters. So we're amused that you're amused. Long story cut short, but that's the A and O of it |

Ok, we know that's how many Americans see it. But we see the job of intelligence agencies as gathering intelligence for political review. They have many other functions, but they don't include overthrowing governments they don't like. They often do controversial work, but that kind of activity is not routine for most of us, no matter what you're told
That includes Russia, btw |

Neither it is industrial espionage and selling the results to the US-industries.

There was a time when the West said the USSR listened to everyone's phones, and spied on you everywhere. And everyone in the West believed it. In reality, in Leningrad -- which is several million people -- the KGB really could tap anyone's phone, but it could only monitor and record 300 lines at a time Question for Americans: would you prefer the NSA system that can log all details permanently, or the KGB system with its great limitations? You told everyone we were the worst people in the world because we watched everyone. Clearly it wasn't true and you were duped, but how do you react now you know your society is a gazillion times worse? |

But you can't compare yesterdays technologies with the nowadays. Nevertheless, to spy out the own citizens is an evidence of incapacity of the jurisdiction. It's a sheer bankrupt of the state.

I recently saw a book sampling the letters of complaint written by Soviet citizens to their government during the 1930s & 1940s. Those complaints had about as much effect as Americans' complaints do now. I recently received replies to my latest letters to my Congresswoman and Senators. I would have felt better if the subjects to which they referred in the letters were the actual issues that I had contacted them about. I do remember the reports of our military people upon visiting Russia after glasnost and seeing the true state of construction quality and broken down facilities wondering, "Why was it that we were supposed to be afraid of these guys?" I hate to say it, but in looking at the shoddy maintenance and safety record of the U.S. Seventh Fleet, other nations should probably begin asking the same question about the U.S. It looks like our bankrupt government is having trouble paying for the war machine. |

No matter what you say, it is more fun to knock up a girl in the U.S. than it is in Britain.
