2023 : Telegram : Runtu, Uri TikTok : Юри Рюнтю : " The general purpose of PROSE is to preserve language as it is spoken by the people. Language is the key to expressing civilization itself. The most complicated and mature language embodies the highest level of civilizations across time and history. It is how we view and remember events, a lingo to record the world around us. Here we stand for the history of Russian literature in Australia. This prose represents Australian citizens who still enjoy writing in the mother tongue of their Russian heritage. Anyway, this Russian-speaking literature belongs to Australian Modern Culture and flourishes equally alongside its Anglo-Saxon counterpart. The previous background of writers is pleasantly mixed with the new style of life they experience in Australia ". / http://www.proza.ru/diary/yuri2008/2020-01-11 / Iouri Runtu: French : Rudolf Noureev : La Mort a Paris / Юри Рюнтю : Russian / Uri Runtu: English Yuri Ryuntyu / Celebrities RU : the Neo-transcendental theatre : 2022.

Runtu: Not much to tell. I’m now in my 70s, have way too many kids, and live in the Washington, DC, area. I write for a living, but unless you consider technical writing creative, this is the only creative writing I do. Recently, I published an article in The Human Prospect and a book chronicling my experiences as a Mormon missionary in Bolivia.

"Because we need life experience from these people and only on the basis of life experience can we make predictions for the future without states self-destruction and international wars..." - he underlined. "I wish good luck for Russia, but I would like to know the true colure of the future for such a great civilization with over one thousand year’s historical record. Please remember..." - he said. "We have in Russia two-hundred-year-old theaters, two hundred and fifty years of ballet and music as well as a great and the most fascinating literature and poetry to be found in the world which is over five hundred years old. Think about and be proud to keep this tradition well and fruitful from the beginning to the end of such a fascinating cultural project. I wish you good luck and God be with you." This Rudolf Nureyev said to me in Armidale ( NSW : Australia ) on November 23, 1991 " / http://www.proza.ru/diary/yuri2008/2017-02-23 / Iouri Runtu: French : Rudolf Noureev : La Mort a Paris / Юри Рюнтю : Russian / Uri Runtu: English Yuri Ryuntyu / Celebrities RU : Hео-трансцендентальный театр : 2022.

At some level, I understand the human capacity for stupidity, but for some reason I am still amazed at the levels to which people will sink in not only being stupid but defending their stupidity.

 Some examples:

I mentioned the other day the three Mormon missionaries who mocked and vandalized a Catholic shrine and, confident in their right to be stupid, posted the evidence on Photobucket. But it takes another level of stupidity entirely to minimize what they did.

The LDS church itself has, rightly, apologized and disciplined the missionaries involved. Apparently, the rank and file did not get the memo as to the appropriate response.
 
Among some apologists, the party line is that there’s no evidence that these missionaries broke the law, so what’s the big deal?

 I heard a soundbite from a talk radio guy (Bob Lounsbury, I believe) who said (and I’m quoting from memory),“Can anyone tell me what law they broke?” And here’s an amateur apologist on the MAD board:

“The problem with prosecution is that there seems to be no evidence of vandalizing.

Just holding a head of a statue isn’t vandalizes [sic] …. Nor is the other sick stuff they did. The article mentioned nothing else. That head has a very clean straight cut….

How in the world would someone be able to do that without a tool? I wonder if that head wasn’t already in that condition.”

 Apparently, no felony, no problem. She does admit that what they did was sick, but her righteous indignation loses its punch the second she says that outrage against the missionaries’ actions is “just one more episode of As the World Turns when it comes to the double standards against Mormons.”

I guess I hold to a simple rule: I disapprove of bad behaviors, no matter who does it.

Also, this morning I caught Geraldine Ferraro’s rather combative appearance on “Good Morning America.”

Poor Diane Sawyer could hardly a get a word in edgewise (she looked like she was afraid Ms. Ferraro was going to beat the crap out of her). Ferraro, an officer in Hillary Clinton’s campaign organization, made the brilliant assertion that Barack Obama would not be in the position he is in were he not black.

This of course explains the successful candidacies of Jesse Jackson and Alan Keyes, right?

Cooler heads in the campaign office worked quickly to distance themselves from Ferraro’s stupid remark. But not Ferraro.

She jumped all over Diane Sawyer and expressed her outrage that anyone would call her a racist.

She said that she meant it as a compliment: since Obama had no experience and no demonstrable skills, what else could it be but his blackness to explain his success?

She finished by saying that the Obama campaign and black Americans ought to be thanking her(!) for speaking the truth.

It takes a special kind of person to be that blissfully unaware of themselves. But such displays of excellence in stupidity remind me that perhaps I’m capable of the same kind of rationalizing.

I’ve done it before; I used to be a Mormon.

And since I’m always harping on bad prose, here’s some prose I quite like.

I’m somewhere to the right of John McCain generally, but I do read a lot on both sides of the political spectrum.

This piece, The Fall of the American Consumer, is the best-written example of sheer pessimism I’ve read in a long time. Enjoy.
