    Well, just don't mess with the Cossack, that's what the hacky sack is for. You can handle that all you want.

    Where does that word "Cossack" come from, anyway? In Russia, we are called kazak. That is bastardized from kasog, from the name of a Circassian tribe we partially descend from. I think "Cossack" comes from the word for the kazaks taht was invented by the French during the war of 1812.

    Well, when you have no chance of winning a General Election, at least you can be humourous.

    In Ukrainian Cossack is Kozak
    ' Oh bury me, then rise ye up
    And break your heavy chains
    And water with the tyrants' blood
    The freedom you have gained.
    And in the great new family,
    The family of the free,
    With softly spoken, kindly word
    Remember also me."

    — Taras Shevchenko, Тарас ШЕВЧЕНКО - Ukrainian Poet
