**************************************
ARMENIANS
*************************
One of the hardest things in life
is to convince an Armenian that
somewhere in the world
there may exist an Armenian
smarter than he.
*
Consider Zohrab (statesman, author, community leader,
Lawyer), as a case in point.
When he predicted the Genocide
no one believed him.
“Zohrab effendi is exaggerating,” they said.
*
Zarian is another case in point.
When his name came up recently,
I heard an Armenian say:
“He may have been a talented writer
but he was not a genius.”
The implication being,
reading second-raters is a waste of time.
*
When discussing Armenians
I am constantly reminded of the popular saying
“Mart bidi ch’ellank!” (Freely translated:
We shall never acquire the status of human beings).

Re: barbarians
To those of my readers who get all worked up over what I write, I say: “Relax! No one gives a damn about what I think or, for that matter, whether I live or die. Take it easy, stop reading me, and enjoy your life. But if you insist in carrying on as you have been, let me warn you that I find all disagreement stimulating, especially disagreement with a touch of arsenic in it, because that's when I feel I have hit paydirt.”

TOYNBEE ON AMERIKA
***************************************
“As soon as they (American) had accomplished their murderously romantic historical mission of clearing the North American barbarians out of the way, they themselves were swiftly sucked back into the prosaic Main Street of a pullulating Middletown. The culture of this Middletown had lapsed into a conspicuous vulgarity and barbarism in the realm of Art.”

ON BLUNDERS
**********************
Blunders are short-cuts to wisdom.
This rule has one exception…
*
We live as though dialogue, compromise and consensus
were anti-Armenian concepts that must be resisted at all cost.
*
We are Christians but in our adherence to tradition
we might as well be Muslims.
The Sultan is always right
and imams are the voice of Allah.
*
We have not yet learned to think for ourselves.
We let the Scriptures to do our thinking of us.
*
Democracy, human rights, and free speech
are inventions of degenerate infidels.
