"I don't believe in forgiving a victimizer till they have been punished to the full extent of the law as an example to others, realised why what they did was wrong and decided never to behave that way again and made restitution to their victim and any others affected. But I do believe in the victim forgiving themself for not knowing that person or situation was dangerous." - Anonymous

[Quote No.40485] Need Area: Friends > General
"In effect, equal enforcement of the law is not simply important for democracy or to ensure that economic activity takes place, it is fundamental to ensuring that capitalism works. Without equal enforcement of the law, the economy operates with participants who are competitively advantaged and disadvantaged. The rogue firms are in effect receiving a giant government subsidy [a form of crony capitalism]: the freedom to engage in profitable activities that are prohibited to lesser entities. This becomes a self-reinforcing cycle...so that inequality becomes ever greater. Ultimately, we all lose as our entire economy is distorted, valuable entities are crushed or never get off the ground because they can’t compete on a playing field that is not level, and most likely wealth is destroyed." - Bruce Judson
Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute and a former Senior Faculty Fellow at the Yale School of Management. Published April 12th, 2012.

[Quote No.40491] Need Area: Friends > General
"[A free media is vital to the success of a democracy. This is because if there is not accurate, timely information, for example propaganda or deliberate or inadvertent misinformation or media blackouts, individuals do not have the facts to make informed choices and vote in their best interests. The media, sometimes called the 'Fourth Estate', is well aware of their responsibilities to perform this task in a free, democratic society and most country's media organisations include this reponsibility in their training and Code of Ethics.] The estates of the realm, originally conceptualised by Montesquieu, are sectors of the community that have power to influence the policy-making process within a society. They are usually seen as the executive - previously the clergy (First Estate), the legislative - previously the nobility (Second Estate), the judicial - previously the middle class commoners (Third Estate), and the mainstream press (Fourth Estate). There is also the less common concept of a fifth estate which has no fixed meaning, but is used to describe any class or group in society other than the previous four estates. It has been used to describe trade unions, the poor, the proletariat, media outlets, including the blogosphere, that see themselves in opposition to mainstream media (the official Press) and 'networked' individuals. It should not be confused with a 'Fifth Column', which has been used to describe subversive or insurgent elements in a society. It got this name from a 1936 radio address by Emilio Mola, a Nationalist General during the 1936–39 Spanish Civil War. As his army approached Madrid, a message was broadcast that the four columns of his forces outside the city would be supported by a 'fifth column' of his supporters inside the city, intent on undermining the Republican government from within." - Wikipedia.org

"How can we justify our dreams? How can we confirm our beliefs? How can we prove to ourselves that what we have been taught as children is true? How can we alleviate our doubts? How can we, in our own often naturally dormant lives, be inspired to action, sometimes even at the sacrifice of our own immediate well-being? We derive those inspirations from our heroes [and their examples of actions on those values, ideals and dreams we share]!" - Jimmy Carter

"[Peaceful revolution and civil disobedience:] If we wanted to regain freedom, we were forced to strike. We told the soviets that you can enter with your tanks if you wish. Then, we will put flowers in the guns of those tanks and your soldiers will sooner or later be forced to open the tanks and get out and get some fresh air. When they are out, our girls will kiss them to death. However, we are not going to work for you anymore.

[Quote No.40634] Need Area: Friends > General
"The world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent when and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe." - Elie Wiesel
