Billy Joel - The Stranger
Внимание! Участнице нашего сообщества Стасе ipostas Денисовой из Краснодара (она - руководитель НПО "ЭТнИКА", член КС МПД , cотрудник ПЦ "Мемориал" и Центра "СОВА") нужна помощь.
Региональные власти с 2007-го года искали повод для заведения уголовного дела (их особо нервировал мониторинг проявлений ксенофобии в крае и активность по линии развития грузино-российского гражданского диалога). Только в 2009-ом правозащитницу несколько раз останавливали на границах и подвергали допросам. 11 февраля ей предъявили обвинение в "умышленном тяжком преступлении" - контрафактном использовании программ корпораций Майкрософт и Корел. Максимальный срок по такой статье - до 6 лет лишения свободы. Уголовные дела по нелицензионному ПО постепенно становятся самым распространенным методом преследования гражданских активистов, блокировки неугодных социальных кампаний и неправительственных организаций.

Стася как-то писала здесь пост о том, как аукнулись мотивы "Постороннего" Камю в песне The Cure. "The Stranger" Билли Джоэла - из той же оперы.
Billy Joel - The Stranger
Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and
Show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on
Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it, why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself
Once I used to believe
I was such a great romancer
Then I came home to a woman
That I could not recognize
When I pressed her for a reason
She refused to even answer
It was then I felt the stranger
Kick me right between the eyes
Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?
Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself
You may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
But he isn't always evil
And he is not always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.
