Beautiful, masterful shorts done by Tex Every, Bob >Clampett, etc... I was always puzzled by the fact that some of the >craziest, funniest ever cartoons were produced egzactly during one of the >bleakest moments in the history of the human kind, that was a Second World >War... But now, during the big turmoil in my country at the end of the 20th >century, I can understand that the very bleakness of the situation is >producing a great need for humor, and perhaps it is a natural reaction, >maybe it is just the level for our psyche to use the latest reserve of the >vitality in the periods of crisis... Or maybe I'm wrong completely, as most >of the people that I know are simply sad and melancholic, and feel so small >and helpless. >Early in the morning NATO has bombed a tower block in Belgrade, where some >of the most outrageous, kitchy Serbian Television studios were based, along >with the headqarters of the Milosevic's party, etc. I admit! I admit! - I >was the one who had a vivid phantasies about throwing a bomb on that same >building, millions of times. But now that I saw an ACTUAL bomb (three of >them!) being thrown, I can understand how stupid I was... Because, folks, >IT IS ONLY A BUILDING! The BUILDING is nothing but a building, and if you >bomb an office, just because you disagree with the policy of the people who >worked there, be sure that: 1.) you are dumb, and 2.) you haven't solved >the problem, my friend. >One of the first to protest against this meaningless act was the Serbian >Independent Journalist Alliance, people from the independent media, who >were spending the years being under the pressure of the very same people >who were walking through the offices of the tower block that was bombed... > Another "glorious" NATO action for today was the bombing of the only >remaining bridge in the city of Novi Sad. Projectile left a big hole in the >bridge construction. Novi Sad is the capital of the northern Serbian >province of Vojvodina, a place with very rich cultural and sub-cultural >scene, a peaceful, multiethnic city that I always loved to visit. >Finally, speaking of bombs, here's a story about the one which fell near >the village Ribnica, in Southern Serbia, seriously injuring two civilians. >The bomb contained a hand-written "message" by its sender: >"Bad times.
