in this case, imitation would be superflux as you’re flattering yourself.

but bdon’t beat yourself over the already swollen head or you outgrow the
wiggiest mad thing in your hattery.

hetero:  Try not to imitate.  You ain’t quite got the talent for it.  And what is it they say:  “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
Or is it: “Beating over the head is the worst form of battery.”

—Shouldn’t one applaud the humanism of Russians instead?—

no

Shouldn’t one applaud the humanism of Russians instead?
Just think for a minute and try to imagine what happens to such “artists” performing ... let’s say at the Western Wall in Jerusalem or in the Belz Beis ha-Medrash ha-Gadol synagogue in Jerusalem, or in the Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca or in the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque in Medina exactly the way they did in Moscow’s Christ the Savior Cathedral which considered by Russians one on of the Russia’s holiest churches.

we can ketchup to each other but why ground ‘round each other and goblin
ourselves up . lettuce not prey that way.

Postscript:  Three things I never thought I’d live to see:  This one above, plus peace organizations in the U.S. getting together to teach 100,000 people the principles of nonviolent action, plus students from all across the country coming together to try to figure out the best ways to save their parents from the ravages of rapaciious bankers and unprincipled Wall Street Corporation operators who have apparently bought out (using lobbyists and campaign contributions) most state and federal administrative and legislative officials, the courts, and our police departments and city officials. Nobody’s left but us chickens.
  At least the young Russian ladies are opting for freedom. So there’s hope.
  I wonder if this sort of unorthodoxy—this playing with authority,  could be developed as a kind of on-subject, on-site “whistle-blowing” comment and criticism on all sorts of air-tight orthodoxies? 
  Dance your way to freedom! Pick up your guitar and walk. Drum them out! Get in tune with peace!  Trumpet for solutions!  This is what a harmonica is for! Orchestrate, don’t devastate!  Harmonize, don’t Demonize!
  Possibilities are the falling blossoms that we don’t pick up and take home.

Wow!  Kracky fer sure!  Can’t think of a less diplomatic location for such a diplomanic performance. Sooner or later we wlll all catch up with each other.
