Russia's future is a bright one, fueled by oil and dedicated leaders that wish to make Russia stronger than ever before. However, Russian leaders should always remember that its greatest commodity is not oil - it is the Russian people.

After reading some of the blogs on this site I thought of a metaphor: A good "father" is not only a good provider and peacekeeper/disciplinarian, but a nurturer and good role model as well. When that "father" (to use that metaphor) stays too late at the office and is more focused on work than the family, the marriage starts to disintegrate and children rebel. Marriage is a partnership. Only be satisfying each other's needs will that relationship blossom and endure for generations.
