Ukranian Parliament

It's the first session of the Ukranian parliament and Kravchuk
is presiding. He's a little nervous because of all the Western
press and he wants to make a good impression:

He thinks: "Who shall I get to give the opening speech?" He
looks across the room: "No, not Kalinev from the Nationalist
Party. He'll say that we should hang all the Westerners." He
looks to the other side: "Hm. I better not call on Korlenko
from the Slavic Union Party. He'll say that we should drown
all the Jews." He looks way in the back: "Ah. I'll call on
Orlovsky from the Green Party."

Orlovsky gets to the front of the room:

"Fellow countrymen and representatives of the Western press,
I'd like to talk to you today about the environmental crisis
that is upon us. The years of Soviet control have left us with
a devastated countryside. Our forests have been destroyed; our
rivers are polluted. This is catastrophe for our new nation,
for if our forests are destroyed, where shall we hang the
Westerners? If our rivers are polluted, where shall we drown
the Jews?..."
