Volunteering is a big-time category of human activity in the American social culture, and discussing it herewith might trigger some controversy, so the disambiguation of possible controversy might help a lot. Why am I saying American? 

I am one of the diehard proponents of baby-booming in Georgia because it is my strong conviction that Georgia and its unique spiritual heredity have a chance to survive only in case the Georgian people continue to exist. I am strongly for heterosexual relations, being utterly allergic to any other class of physical bonding between the sexes – let the otherwise thinkers magnanimously forgive my single-mindedness concerning this particular issue.

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on! Governments come and go, and this is not a big deal at all, especially in a country like the United States of America. Others too, for that matter! Progress is a curious thing to watch – life goes on and even if someone tries to stop or talk against progress, it will still happen inevitably. 

When we choose to make survival by means of using our intellectual faculties rather than physical, we a priori subject ourselves to the whole series of examinations, stretching piecemeal over lifetime. We are getting examined as soon as we reach preschool age and we might be compelled to take an examination right on the eve of our departure from this world.

Tbilisi is a fun place to live but it is funny too. At times! Look at the traffic in this beautiful city for example, and you will find that it is the weirdest thing you have ever come across with in your entire lifetime. This is a huge city with 1, 5 million people living there.

Human race has accumulated certain amount of knowledge which has historically determined and triggered all the good and the evil that has so far happened to the mankind. Yes, knowledge has been both the source of goodness and the cause of vice. But let us assume for a second that all the accumulated wisdom and experience could be used by humanity only in the context of kind doings.

In the last quarter of a century, bulk of the Georgian politics is being made mostly in the street. If we put together several clinically recognizable features of our national life that consistently occur together as a set of associated social, political and economic symptoms, we may receive a clearly expressed syndrome which I am prone to dub as Streetsmart Politics.

Wasn’t it me who recently said that the Georgians are quick learners? And we truly are. Look at what’s happening with ballroom dancing here! After a somewhat prolonged wait, it has rolled out all over the place – dancing schools are booming, halls are packed full, both the young and the old are getting involved like crazy, television stations are competing to put it forthwith on the screen, papers are commenting breathlessly and the public is applauding with unfailing enthusiasm.

I will probably need to use my wildest imagination to comprehend and appreciate Russia’s desire to follow in Georgia’s footsteps in terms of introducing some of the long-needed reforms in the Federation. Leaders of Russia have publicly declared that the reforms of the Georgian origin deserve to be considered as a favorable precedent for Russia to embrace.
