I bought this to sample. 50p ($1). For a cassette I reckon that's pretty expensive. But it is a double LP so I do get a lot (have a lot) for my money. I hope it's shit, but in that beautiful, sampleable way.
I'm sure they were not always thus. You can tell from the location and orientation of the high-security fences that the fences were not planned when the units were built. What you see now are units that are terrified. Scared of attack. Entrenched.
Life and the world was not always like this. We were once open and relaxed.
Is this progress? I like and want progress but this just depresses me.
I know why they're scared and protective, I would be too. But it's us that have made this happen. Our society.

From the Guardian today:
As Washington accused Russia of "bullying and intimidation" in Georgia and demanded an immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from the small Black Sea neighbour, Russia's deputy chief of staff turned on Warsaw and said it was vulnerable to a Russian rocket attack because of Thursday's pact with the US on the missile defence project.
"By deploying, Poland is exposing itself to a strike - 100%," warned Colonel General Anatoly Nogovitsyn. He added that Russia's security doctrine allowed it to use nuclear weapons against an active ally of a nuclear power such as America.
