이건 무슨 개드립이냐?

이건 뭐 절차에 문제가 있지만 절차에 문제가 없었더라도 (딴나라당이 절대과반 먹었으니) 어차피 통과될 거였으니 문제가 없다?

술 마시고 사람은 치었지만 술 안마셨어도 사람을 치였을 놈이니 문제가 없다는 소리랑 뭐가 다르냐?

왜 아예 강간은 했지만 어차피 처녀는 언젠간 잃었을 테니까 문제가 없다고 하지?

이런 식으로 문제만 쏙 지적하고 정의를 구현할 책임은 입법부에 죄다 맞겨버릴 것 같으면 사법부는 있어서 무슨 소용이란 말이냐?

Obama you got it wrong this time.

Man, you can possibly cover this as something other than protectionism policy.

I'm no big fan of so-called economic liberalism but this is so obviously politically motivated move that doesn't give a damn about our global commercial contexts.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that this is gonna trigger a global tariff war between the United States and China but man you slapped me on my face by mistaking responsible financial and commercial regulation with protecting American commercial interests at the cost of potential trade war between the two most financially influential states on earth.

Man GFC isn't over yet. History is replete with examples of being complacent too early after some signs of recovery and being slapped back even more harshly when you put your hands away from the matter.

Recent stock surges do not mean that the crisis is over and recovery is on the road. It just means that people forget fast.

Obama you chose the wrong direction this time. Protectionism is not the answer for America's declining competitiveness in the market.

About Europeans

Who knows better than Europeans the dangers that arise from unbridles power politics, from an excessive reliance on military force, from policies produced by national egoism and ambition, even from balance of power and raison d'etat?

Not inevitable?

Globalization is now regularly cited as a reason to promote measures to reduce workers' rights and lessen other constraints on business. Such ideological justifications for policies which favour the interests of business cna only be countered through a broader understanding of the relationship between the political and economic structures of capitalism. As we have seen, the understanding proffered by the Marxist theorists suggests that there is nothing natural or inevitable about a world order based on a global market. Rather than accept the inevitability of the present order, the task facing us is to lay the foundations for a new way of organizing society- a global society which is more just and more humane than our own.

.....I din't know that Marxism can sound so utopian... it's almost painful...

How could you do that, Gramsci?

Institutions are meaningless in the state of anarchy... of states...

Is pity natural?

When nature gave man tears,
She proclaimed that he was tender-hearted

Hobbes says that the only thing matters to us in the state of nature is our self-preservation. But Rousseau says something different. Which one speaks truth? It is indeed difficult and intriguing question..

......Katz, Gurevitch and Haas (1987) went further in a survey of 1500 people in Israel. They found, among other things, that respondents considered non-media sources to be more important than the mass media in satisfying all needs investigated by the researchers; that mass media were more important for those cut off from family, friends, the state and society......

Although tensions are inherent to a liberal democratic framework, the values underlying liberal democracies are also interdependent because to a significant extent the provision of liberal values, like freedom, is best made possible via democratic frameworks.
