Entry: Europe's Fascist Future? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/europes_fascist_future#2616 Post contents: About those ersatz constitutions of "emerging nations" and current and former Communist states: Back when I lived in Russia in the 1990s, I heard this old joke (told by Russians in private) which circulated in Soviet times: An American law professor visited Moscow and chatted with a Soviet law professor about their constitutions. The American said, "Your Soviet Constitution says you have freedom of speech! And so does ours! We're not so different after all!" And then his Russian friend responded, "No, my friend, it is not the same - because in America, you still have freedom AFTER speech!" Sent at: 2008 12 02
