Bury the UNDEAD !

              Oddly enough this Memorial Day, I am thinking about one of

    the world's most famous undead - Lenin of the former Soviet Union. The

    man -who was an uncompromising atheist and " dialect materialist "- would

    be appalled to behold his putrescent, mummified corpse in Red Square.

          His brain - which planned a worker's utopia, not a Gulag nightmare -

    has been in a glass jar for year now. Nothing was learned from it, except

    that the communist " genius " may have been prematurely senile.

           The extreme hardening of his brain tissue is the perfect metaphor

    for ALL decayed dogma. A logical " system " for the Infinite - the human

    heart - will always elude us .

             But is it not common decency to finally put Lenin's remains - he

    was a Great Man - into Mother Earth ?

               And I think they will do less mischief there - reminding Russians

    of a very dialectical principle : ALL things pass away -even bloody utopian

    dreams .
