This is a satirical anti-war stamp from Zombieland (Russia), the design of which is based on a Nazi issue from 1938. Russian symbols, including the government's pro-war Z symbol (from whence Zombieland), replace German ones. The text refers to both Orwell's anti-totalitarian novel "1984" and the ideology of the Russian Mir, which means both "world" and "peace". From left to right: Freedom is Slavery. Russian Peace (conflating this with Orwell's War is Peace slogan). Ignorance is Strength. I've uploaded two images for comparison: one of the above stamp and one of the original.   |

Perhaps so, I certainly am not the language police, and find a good curse helps when I hit my thumb with the hammer.
But the hearing of young folk, use every second word turns me right off. Like fingernails across a blackboard.
On a positive note, it seems we both were surprised at the usage of the Cinderella. Philately continues to surprise us.

At the same time, I know young people who never curse, and middle aged people who curse up a storm. There is no end to the variety of Cinderellas........ |

I don't know who produced this cinderella, but it obviously commemorates the 200th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War with the battles of Lexington and Concord where the first shots were fired on April 19, 1775.
A Bi-Centennial item, perhaps.

From "Wikipedia: The Aero Club of America was a social club formed in 1905 by Charles Jasper Glidden and Augustus Post, among others, to promote aviation in America. It was the parent organization of numerous state chapters, the first being the Aero Club of New England. It thrived until 1923, when it transformed into the National Aeronautic Association, which still exists today. It issued the first pilot's licenses in the United States, and successful completion of its licensing process was required by the United States Army for its pilots until 1914. It sponsored numerous air shows and contests. Cortlandt Field Bishop was president in 1910. Starting in 1911, new president Robert J. Collier began presenting the Collier Trophy." [  |
