Eu Didn't Advance Our [eastern Europe] Democracy

I Never Intended To Be A Politician Or Office-seeker.

Then In 1969, I Spent The Spring Term At Cornell University In New York. The Invasion Of August 1968 Had Already Happened, But The Hardline Regime Took Several Months To Crack Down On Dissidents.

I Also Helped Write The Five-page Statement Of Principles That Civic Forum Issued In Late November. That Was The First Public Expression Of What The New Government Wanted To Do.

I Was Paid To Read Western Economic Texts. In A Way, The Regime Paid For Their Own Undermining.

Environmentalism Is A Dangerous Ideology Endangering Human Freedom.
