Has anybody noticed that we never see anything about Cossack culture in the British press, no, not a word. Ever since those nasty Soviets tried to stamp out a thousand years of Cossack tradition leaving the world a lesser place no body has made any effort to defend a once great culture. And those lads were ever so good with horses and big knives. Maybe we should form a committee to discus how we can help those poor lost Cossacks and help them rebuild their lost traditions. Granted they will probably want Cossack TV, but that is only to be expected, it’s not the Middle Ages anymore is it? So why not? Maybe the BBC could set up a couple of Cossack TV channels. They could show documentaries about raping and pillaging. History programmes about how the Cossack empire nearly conquered the whole of the then known world. That would be nice and it would help rebuild their confidence in themselves as a group knowing what a wild, glorious and murderous history they once had.
There will also need to build special sites set up for all their horses as well, they do travel in such large groups and those hoses will need to rest and be fed and watered for which there simply must be EU rules.
I accept that most people will know very little about the Cossacks and their traditions and I am sure some small minded people may even object to having two or three thousand horses and men descend on their local shopping centre from time to time, but the fact is that we have a duty to protect all cultures and traditions not matter out of date and inconvenient they might be. I know that it might be upsetting having your daughter kidnapped but just think of the wonderful continuum of history you and she will be joining against the nothingness of our current soulless lives? Your grandchildren will be little Cossacks, wouldn’t that ever so exciting?
And Cossacks are not the only neglected group we need to offer our help and protection to. There are those nice Vikings with their pretty boats and funny hats. Now there’s an other culture that we have failed. Doesn’t make you feel ever so guilty? Can you not see how much richer and more exciting our lives would be if only we all embraced these traditions as a part of our multi cultural everyday life? Yes, I do admit that some of these groups do present some small social problems, but we really do have a responsibility to be tolerant even though it may not be reciprocated. Because it is not their fault that reciprocation of civilised behaviour is not a part of their culture. It is for us to make space in our world for people who will bring richness and diversity to our lives.
I will admit to some small distortion of facts and slight exaggeration here and there, but that does seem to be the order of the day so I felt it might help me fit in that much better. By the way, this subject is limited to what I am talking about and does not and should not reflect on any other part of our lives, past or present as I do accept that other experiences we have had may not help in our understanding of one particular situation, in fact they might confuse a given situation rather than help understand it. You should also be warned that some people might even use such a tactic as an actual means to deliberately confusing a single issue. So can we try and stay focused on the one issue and how our experience (or lack of it) related to it applies rather than generalising about our entire lives, (as heroic as you may believe them to be) which really doesn’t bring anything worth while to the table and if nothing else only shows a lack real understanding and a simplistic argument.
Not that I have any intention of entering into any argument, because I haven’t, I have made my point.
And my point is not directed at anybody in particular. It is just my opinion.
Good night everybody, do please enjoy yourselves.
