Bertrand Badie : "Et surtout, nous ne devons pas oublier cette règle d'or,

qui va devenir l'aune des relations internationales: l'aspiration à l'égalité. Un homme vaut un autre homme. Je n'ai pas vu beaucoup de réactions, cette semaine, devant la mort de plusieurs Palestiniens... Et lorsque nous saurons réagir au génocide de 500 000 Rwandais comme nous avons réagi au sort tragique des victimes emportées à New York, nous aurons fait un progrès dans la régulation de la vie internationale. Or nous sommes encore dans un monde où un homme ne vaut pas un autre homme; c'est en ces termes que le Sud réagit à la catastrophe de New York. La mondialisation aggrave les inégalités mais suscite une aspiration à l'égalité comme il n'y en a jamais eu. Parce que chacun a désormais les moyens de se comparer aux autres."

Michael Stern : "The atmosphere is strained, but polite.

Perhaps the frequency of every New Yorker's intercourse (in the old-fashioned sense) with members of other ethnic groups helps. That didn't help the Jews in Germany in 1938, or Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994, but maybe it helps here."

Cynthia Malaran : Watching the Changes

"I had originally started this photo collection as a tribute to the view out of my bedroom window that I grew up with. Never did I think I would be speaking of it in the past tense, at least not under these conditions." via calamondin

Leah McClaren : "But what else could Bush say?

What else could people do but pray? The frustration the young New Yorker felt was not with the President's sentiment, but with the cheap, canned feeling of déjà vu it evoked. The sense that we had been here many times before when, in fact, we had not."

Chris Cobb : Perl Tools Architecture (PTools)

"was created after attempting to move two web-based applications consisting of many related pieces and over 100,000 lines of Perl each. After wrestling again and again with hard-coded file paths, duplicated data file locations and other fundamental problems and inconsistencies, a cleaner approach was clearly needed." via gnat
