How do I differ from the young couple that went to the theater square today to join the unauthorized picket against the decision of the Customs Union on the introduction of the ban on the import of lace underwear?

The fact that - being their peer, - I already lived in yesterday's country, where almost all the imports were banned as such. And selling alcohol in restaurants for removal was also prohibited there. And in general, sell alcohol after seven in the evening and until eleven in the morning. And in the Law on Governor's Elections there was no norm on self -nomination, and in the law on the basics of local self -government - the norm on popular elections. And what was not for sure - it was no unauthorized pickets.

And do not look at me with poorly hidden neglect - they say, where he, the old fart, is to realize all the bitterness of the loss. No need. At least - because there is no loss here. This is elementary logic, Watson: to resolve everything means not to resolve anything; To prohibit everything is not to ban anything. And the more intensive and absurd, calls to the next ban begin to sound from the Duma corridors, the closer we begin to that yesterday’s power, which, once exploded, turned into this today.

The worst thing that could happen to us over the past two years is if the State Duma of the sixth convocation has not issued a single ban. Because then the Putin regime could exist forever. But the most terrible did not happen: so why should we go to the already prohibited pickets? Why vote for an already prohibited opposition and wish for the prohibited defeat of the party in power? Why rush to excavators who are withdrawing the soil from the territory of the monument to the soldiers of the Great War? Why slow down - or, rather, why try to brake - the process of total self -destruction? Or is it really so important for you that your country, by chance, does not collapse until you destroy it?

The point of no return, - as another note lover of prohibitions likes to say, the former liberal Nikita Belykh, is already passed, the critical mass of the absurd is exceeded, the Olympics in Sochi took place, lace underwear is prohibited. Well, give the Nikitam a chance! Let them prohibit drinking beer, let them ban the truth, let them ban the sex life out of marriage. Sit evenly, breathe deeply. I already had the happiness of seeing how yesterday's country is crumbling. She collapses just like that. Do not deprive yourself and you are so happiness.
