Le juge de Bertrand Russell. Un vieil homme fondateur de la CND. Aux assises pour avoir protesté en faveur de nos enfants"
Monsieur Russell, je d"evrais vous envoyer en prison pour vos crimes. Mais en raison de votre âge, je ne le ferai pas, et je serai indulgent"
Bertrand au juge :
"Votre honneur, à cause de mon âge, je sais encore mieux à quel point votre groupe d'âge est corrompu, fou et meurtrier, et je vous combattrai avec encore plus de passion et d'énergie jusqu'à ma mort. Pacifiste bien sûr. Et devinez quoi, ça me fait me sentir plus jeune que n'importe quel vieux de 55 ans. Ou même très vieille femme..... "
"Etes-vous un Bertrand, ou comme les autres ....? "

Traduit avec www.DeepL.com/Translator (version gratuite) - i leave that bit in, as a typical effete awful white-supremacist Colonialist conceited arrogant limey i was always too lazy to learn 'others' languages propper.... but then i don't need to, because i know what someone's photograph's say.... i know what they really mean., and anything can change...if you are really free.
I paraphrase slightly needing to get out in my sunny suntrap where i make my calls... feeling all lovely and warm.... and not troubling the planets' reserves in being so...
but this bad short version here and now, will be, updated, i didn't realise then just how deep and interesting a question it was, no one else even really even understanding it.... never mind ... well that's in another book. And you don't have to get arrested to be even more positively influential to the next gen.... but you do have to mean it. No limey does or even understands any more
And then live it. And then live the it taking over no matter what as we all know better. And Bertrand lived to a very ripest old age, even back then....
Le Fin.
its amazing anyone survived the other Bertrand to have such a gorgeous real smile, sometimes....
