It's not clear to me what far right means in this context. It seems to mean libertarian or perhaps laissez faire. -- ⇒⇐ glen FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com

I do believe that before it was even a republic of the USSR (notice I said the USSR, a *plurality* of Republics?) it was a region describing geography and ethnicity in a somewhat vaguely bounded way (there may have been borders drawn on colonizers maps, but the people there probably had pretty fuzzy boundaries for the Ukraine?). What I've always been puzzled by is where referring to roadways with the became common.
