Capitalism and Pynchon

I'm teetering off subject here, but . . .  A visiting Russian prof 
recently told me of a saying that's going around the former USSR:  
"Anyone who does not lament the fall of communism has no heart; anyone 
who would want it back is a fool."

Expresses a hardheaded sadness many surely feel.

There's an intergenerational version of this joke but it probably wouldn't be politic to quote it.
