"IF you have something to say, or worthwhile, the workshop wants to hear it! Just submit your comments and questions prior to the workshop!"

Translation:  Mail us your questions and we will decide whether or not they'll be answered and . . . after we decide which questions will be answered . . . we'll tell you what we want you to hear.

Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .

But first you must learn to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
