From the Russian Revolution ordsprog

en From the Russian Revolution of 1917 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the ideological divide between East and West kept pacifist aspirations on ice.

And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty. . . . The most fundamental distinction of all between East and West (sic.) [is that] the totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.
  Ronald Reagan

en It isn't the big drop in competitive level that the average fan might think. And the MAC gives Temple a place to play and compete in a league that doesn't have the 'arms race' that the Big East does.
