In the near term, Mr. Obama could be sending as many as 30,000 more American troops to Afghanistan; some may well come back through Dover. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/weekinreview/15seelye.html

有錢無罪 無錢有罪

유전무죄 무전유죄 지강헌은 1988년 교도소 이감중에 도망쳐 서울에서 인질극을 벌였던 탈주범이다. 지강헌 일당이 서울시 북가좌동에서 인질극을 벌이는 장면은 TV를 통해서 전국으로 생생히 중계되면서 많은 사람들의 입에 오르내리게 되었다. 지강헌은 경찰에게 'Holiday' by Bee Gees 카세트테이프를 요구한 뒤 노래를 들으며 창문을 깨 유리조각으로 목을 찔러 자살을 기도했다. '돈 있으면 무죄, 돈 없으면 유죄'라는 뜻으로 '유전무죄(有錢無罪), 무전유죄(無錢有罪)'라고 사회의 불평등에 대해 절규하면서 사람들의 관심을 끌었다.

Clarence Darrow

"I was reading last night of the aspiration of the old Persian poet, Omar-Khayyam. It appealed to me as the highest that I can vision. I wish it was in my heart, and I wish it was in the hearts of all: So I be written in the Book of Love; I do not care about that Book above. Erase my name, or write it as you will, So I be written in the Book of Love." -the closing case for mercy in a murder trial

Jerry Falwell

The All-American evangelical Christian pastor/televangelist. "The Bible is the inerrant... word of the living God. It is absolutely infallible, without error in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as well as in areas such as geography, science, history, etc." "I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" "The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country." "Good Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions." "I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternate lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen'." - speaking of the 9/11 terrorist attack. "If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being."
