Weellll, for those who don't enjoy puns, but feel that the life and
everything is one enormous pun, a political reminder.

For many years, the world is composed of Leftists and Rightists (let's
for the moment forget the normal people). Those from the Left always felt
that they were right, and that those from the Right should not be left
unpunished, while those from the Right thought that those from the Left
should be left to die. Even if it seems right to consider that these
deviations should be left to historians, we should not forget that at
the beginning of the glorious Soviet country there was a proposal to
change the meaning of traffic lights. Red would mean "Forward!!".

On the other hand, in France nowadays the difference between Right and
Left is more or less the same as between "Immediate failure" and "Delayed
failure". Choose yourselves which is which.
