"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem."
The universal methodological principle, known as Okkam's razor, says "Entities are not to be multiplied above the necessary."
I try to use this principle to understand Russia - if there is a more simple way to explain something, then this way should be closer to truth than a more complex one.

Weird statistics
Of 34 Americans who read my post "How to drink vodka and stay sober" in the last three days 9 visitors are from Beverly Hills, California. Can anyone explain it?
I am a filmmaker and the founder of World Stage Pictures (www.worldstagepictures.com)- which is a combination of a film society and social commentary forum. Our film members have 3 Oscar nominations, 10 Emmy Awards, and over 50 feature films collectively. Besides filmmaking, World Stage is also dedicated to increasing social awareness: http://www.worldstagepictures.com/stage.htm
We are looking to attract more international contributors to our political writings page - http://www.worldstagepictures.com/stage-writings.htm. I came across your blog and would like to invite you to submit an article.
World Stage promotes cross-cultural understanding (and even misunderstanding) by open exchange. Our contributors are major players in academia: Prof. William Pinar (Director of the Centre for Internationalization and Curriculum Studies at University of British Columbia), Prof. David Kirshner (Dept. of Curriculum and Instruction at LSU) and everyday people across the globe: Faiza (a 50 year old mother of 3 living in Baghdad), Afghan Warrior (located in Kabul). We are currently sorting through submissions from bloggers in Iraq, Taiwan, Pakistan, Russia, and Brazil, among others, which we will start posting next week. Topics range from contemporary politics to social commentary to everyday life, but they all have the common thread of our shared humanity and what it means to live in this world.
We accept submissions in the body of the email (up to 5 pages) on many different topics. Of particular interest are those writings that tie in your situation with the rest of the world (feel free to interpret this frame as widely as you wish). I am available to tell you more about World Stage and answer any questions.
Sincerely,

Dude, I wish I knew this valuable information years ago, when i drank vodka. There are five phases of being drunk. I can only remember the last two. Number four is 'bulletproof' , and number five is 'invisible'. I just saw this blog today from another blog, so your blog may get more hits as of today.
