Mendacious Marv was surprised? Ten years after Solidarity erupted in Poland; after the border fences between then Czechoslovakia and Germany were ripped down; two years after the Berlin wall was taken down; 5 years into perestroika and glasnost and Mendacious Marv was surprised? He must not have been paying attention. Mendacious Marv can crawl inside Lenin's tomb whenever he finds it convenient. Maybe he could set-up light housekeeping -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
