And who was sit that imposed Communism on the Czechs, and kept it there by force of arms for almost fifty years? Is any justice due for that, too -- or does the chain simply stop at mid link, and the whole story conveniently start with "Once upon a time the Czechoslovakia was Communist, and here's what the Communists did to the Roma..."

Like Puerto Rican women by the USA? Surely you know that the USA systematically steralized Puerto Rican women by the hundreds of thousands after World War II and up to the 1960s? And surely you know that we tested birth control pills, among other things, on them? This is terrible, but calling it "communist" is absurd. Violence and coercion against women is not capitalist or communist, it spans all systems.

Beauty is what we see and need to dream of want or is it desire for ourselves? If ability is the measure of all and created from birth then all are equal until we see. All eyes see all for one? If one cannot produce fruit, then one has no need to eat and should be no more. Conditions make people fat or thin only to be undone and done again. The eye of one should see all equally under the sun of purpose and what does one see that all cannot understand? What fruits does one produce for all, one and time? We all perish under the sun in due time to dust. If one was left, it was for the reason of purpose from a dead eye perhaps not ignorant of the stars.
