Let me concentrate on looting. He's been with us since the dawn of time. So long that you didn't know when, it grew into a habit. And even became a lawful law. Almost a tradition. Something so common, it doesn't surprise anyone anymore.

Not surprising, given the universality of this practice. Oh, oatmeal and dishonor. Not to mention the feeling of harm done or the sprinkling on your conscience. Or even trying to repair the loss. As well as the beating in the chest and the passionate desire to quit whistleblowers.

Repentance, penance for deviant acts, they are garbage concepts. Abstractions carried around fairs with egghead ideas. And nevertheless the most powerful moralists conflict with them, although on this slimy subject many areopagus of sages, ethicists and philosophers acquainted with the logic, the effect of their peroration is none: only that they cannot convince a looter to be honest.

In the beginning, theft was treated as the privilege of the victors of war; the spoils were a replacement form of pay. Kind of justifying a shameful course. The army gained a besieged city and encouragement to increase in the woodcuts the zeal to cut sips, its commanding officer motivated the looting by scorning about in this direction: what is eluded is yours.

During the Swedish invasion of Poland, many of our national treasures were stolen. I am sad to say that they proceed to enrich Swedish museums. There are exhibitions that are more valuable... They say Sigismund's column was not taken to Sweden just due to the fact that it did not fit in the hold of their largest crypt.

Nor did Napoleon go without dandruff: The Louvre inactive boasts the teleportation of the Egyptian achievements. Fortunately, the pyramids could not be brought to Europe... Therefore, in the centre of Paris there is simply a naughty substitute for 1 of them: a symbol of unrealised dreams.

The British galleries are teeming with lavish Indian facilities. The Second planet War allowed the Germans to clear our country of the most valuable paintings and cymbals. The Liberation Red Army besides shaved us; many of the goods of Polish culture are being poured in the Hermitages. The modern rustlings in Iraq or the conquests of the Afghan lands provided the slayers - another's legacy; so in the name of peace is sanctioned banditism.

Years passed and the phenomenon of legal dandruff began to evolve: from the theatre of wars it moved to amusement theatre: it mastered sold politicians. average robbers – soldiers, were in good company: they no longer bargain themselves. They were joined by (in the majesty of the law) decision-makers, people with immunity, mercenaries of a patriotic duty, which it seems that since they were elected to exercise power, they can act without scruples: as in their own and as in their own.
