- "If the 19th Century belonged to Europe and the 20th to America, the 21st has all the makings of becoming the 'Asian century' in which India, given its size and market, will play a pivotal role. This belief, which has sustained India's Look East policy in recent years, was reaffirmed as Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee began a six-day Southeast Asia sojourn in this idyllic isle on Monday morning." |

- Jag har länge sympatiserat med den autonoma-anarkistiska "rörelsens" idéer. Jag är socialist och vill vara med och skapa en rörelse som verkligen krossar kapitalismen och inför ett klasslöst samhälle. Jag tror på internationell solidaritet och hatar "nationen". Jag tror inte på parlamentet som en väg att gå för att vinna över kapitalismen. Jag tror på organisering underifrån. |

- The report explicitly states that demographic subgroups show the same variations, which means that the statistical differences have little or no correlation to a particular ideology. I don't see how that could be any clearer.Also, on the very first page of the report it's instantly clear that PIPA didn't ask people if they believe WMD do or do not exist in Iraq � they asked people whether or not the existence of WMD has been proven either way; as Derek points out, this has not yet been proven or disproven, which means believing that there's proof either way is...a misperception. |

- Thanks Martin. Guess that means I didn't require RadioUserland. The functionality I wish to better to understand is the aggregator. The ability to subscribe to different sources, and have references to the new material collected in a single package, and delivered to me. In my "research", I was unable to determine what was required. |

- With a record 133 candidates (post-Arianna) in the California gubernatorial race, the Oct. 7 election poses a nontrivial design challenge: How to fit all those names on the ballot? In a sense, the election is a litmus test of how far we've come since the 2000 presidential election, when the now-infamous butterfly in Dade County, Fla., put ballot design on newspapers' front pages. |

- Writes PETA Vice President Dan Mathews, "Perhaps Friday�s frightening incident will make you realize that a brightly lit stage with pounding music and a screaming audience is not the natural habitat for tigers, lions, or any other exotic animals. The only natural thing that happened on that stage was that this majestic animal lashed out against a captor who was beating him with a microphone because he wouldn�t do a trick. No matter how much you say that you love the wild animals whom you have confined continents away from their natural homes, you are still the men who have subjugated their wills and natures to further your own careers" (see attached). |
