re: Poznir
Poznir was a paid Communist tool of the U.S.S.R. through the latter part of the Cold War, whose sole job was putting a human face on his regime, and it's amazing he has the balls to show his face in the West after the Berlin Wall fell.
As for his comment, I'm not going to waste the effort of discussing the philosophical problem with his statement, but just remember: between the Soviet government and the TV executives, which one enforces its will with guns, imprisonment, and death?
