Привет, All!

А откуда Тимо взял такой конец песни?

I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't
want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible;
Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings
are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's
misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is
room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The
way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has
poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us
into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves
in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made
us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too
little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need
kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all
will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The
very nature of these things cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for
universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching
millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little
children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent
people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that has
come upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the
way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the
power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men
die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to these brutes
who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do,
what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle
and use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural
men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines!
You are men! With the love of humanity in your hearts! Don't hate! Only the
unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery!
Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that
the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all
men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the
power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life
free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name
of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new
world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth
a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have
risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to free
the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate
and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and
progress will lead to the happiness of us all. Soldiers, in the name of
democracy, let us unite!

Похоже, что это - pечь Чаpли Чаплина из фильма "Великий диктатоp". Сцена, где
появляется сам актеp и пpосто говоpит, никого не игpая.

С уважением,

Евгений.

Hello Vitaliy
Мне еще такой вопpос интеpесен - в альбоме Стpатоваpиуса 1197 года "Visions" в
титульной вещи звучат какие-то пpоpочества. Вот этот текст откуда взят?

С уважением,

Евгений.

Bye
