Hey, that's cool! Politics, patriotism, physical eradication - all the three p's a "good story" should have, shouldn't it?! I'm sorry I didn't know Lithuanian also used -ti as an infinitive ending. I know Lithuanian is a Baltic tongue as well as Czech is a Slavic language. I (quite surprisingly) know something about certain "attempts to eradicate" you "physically as well as culturally", as well as certain "attempts to eradicate" us "Czechs by Germans and Russians"...funny...funny how much we don't know...Let's kill each other, we'll have some fun, fiends and friends - all the three f's a "good story" should have, shouldn't it?!
