After reading Tim Sevener's chilling account of US oppression of progressive
forces in the nation's shopping malls I was reminded of the following joke.

An American visiting Moscow was standing in a large subway stop underneath
Moscow with his Soviet host.  Russians are quite proud of the glory and
the splendor of the Moscow Metro, and his host went into considerable detail
about the remarkable architecture of the stop, the beautiful art on
the wall, the herculean efforts that went into the construction
of the system, etc.  After hearing this, the American said "Well, you're
right.  The Metro really is a marvel.  However, I noticed that during the
30 minutes that we've been standing here talking, not a single train came."
The Soviet citizen replied "Yes, but what about the American slaughter of the
Indians?"
