Masaryk údajně Čapkovi pravil: "Nebudu se bát, až když tady demokracie vydrží padesát let." K dnešku 35 z těch 50 už máme za sebou, 15 nám ještě schází. Tak do toho, ať to fakt vydrží. #Czech #VelvetRevolution #Listopad #FallOfCommunism

"Invalid Handle"? What does that mean? I'm quite happy to fix it, if only I could figure out how.
