Back when I was taking Russian language courses in college (there was still an CCCP back then), lots of the students in my classes had those shirts, including my husband. At that time, and for us, it was just identifying with the language we were learning - it was definitely not political, just showing off our cyrillic alphabet skills.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063583307944484526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-318279256759475272010-06-16T22:51:45.563-04:002010-06-16T22:51:45.563-04:00Tam, Very nice turn around, especially since what ...Tam, Very nice turn around, especially since what you're saying is true and what they are saying is revisionism.

The annoying ones are rare enough that I almost (ALMOST) feel sorry for 'em.<br /><br />However, I attend a local University (because it is local) and am working on my MA in Psychology (yeah, I know...). Anyway, in class last week there was a reasonably intelligent woman (in early 30's) who is a HS teacher, wearing a red t-shirt that said "CCCP" and had the hammer and sickle!!!!!!!!!<br />!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Luckily for me, before I exploded, the talk turned to the UN, the "Human Rights Charter" (don't ask), and how the signatories aren't really so Human Rights-ish - and I got to mention the little fact of the more than 20 million folks the Lenin, Stalin, et al managed to kill off. Made me feel sorta better, and I avoided saying anything directly about the idiot shirt. <br />But - puhlease - can someone tell me why???<br /><br />[Thank you for allowing this contravention of the Commentarama rules]rlaWTXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319344164726195144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-22388532072273090822010-06-16T17:50:39.293-04:002010-06-16T17:50:39.293-04:00Lawhawk, Have you checked the north 40 of your new...Lawhawk, Have you checked the north 40 of your new ranch?

I never affixed it to my car and I suppose I never had the courage of my convictions. (It was also a phase.) But I admit if I had been driving in the 80s, I might've had a "The Moral Majority is neither" sticker. :-)<br /><br />When humorist/singer Kinky Friedman ran for governor of Texas a few years ago, they were selling bumper stickers that read, "My governor is a Jewish cowboy!"
