"Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."
(Andre Gide)

Defend Dorota Rabczewska (Doda)!


Unbelievably - and monstrously - Warsaw prosecutor's office has charged Polish pop-star, Dorota Rabczewska (aka Doda), with the 'crime' of "offending religious sensibilities". Why? Just for remarking in a year-ago television interview that she believed more in dinosaurs than she did in the Bible because "it is hard to believe in something written by people who drank too much wine and smoked herbal cigarettes". If convicted, she faces up to two years in prison under Poland's strict blasphemy laws. Read more here, here and here.
