I can tell you a graphic difference. In Prague, for example, big red posters were put up on which could be read that seven Czechs had been shot today.

The British philosopher Bertrand Russell said that philosophy went downhill after Democritus and did not recover until the Renaissance.
Many other artists who sing about hope think that it is something every single person carries within himself. I'm not so sure if that's true.

And remember: No matter how many mistakes you make, your mother always loves you!
My mother always said democracy is the best revenge.
