Too bad I can't grow a beard...

This is a quote from the book I am reading now, Moscow 2042 by Vladimir Volinovich.
It is a great little passage, and hopefully you will enjoy.
I might put something else up tonight if I feel like it, I am starting my Creative Writing class tonight though, so i don't know if I will.

"I have done massive research on beards which anyone who so desires can do in pratically any library in the world. But, for those too lazy to go to the library, I will say briefly that I am deeply convinced that beards play a very important role in the dissemination of advanced ideas and doctrines, and in winning minds. I think that Marxism would never have been able to win over the masses if Marx had shaved at some point, even if he'd been forced to do so. Lenin, Castro, and Khomeini could not have produced revolutions if they'd been clean shaven. of course, power has sometimes been seized in one country or another, and territory has been subdued by people with just moustaches and sometimes even without. But no beardless man has ever yet been known as a prophet."
