माफी का एक सबसे उपयोगी काम हमें यह अहसास कराना है कि पिछली पीढ़ियों ने कितनी गहराई, ईमानदारी और पीड़ा के साथ उन उद्देश्यों का पीछा किया था जो आज हमें गलत और शर्मनाक लगते हैं। यह सोचना हमारे लिए लाजिमी है कि क्या आने वाली पीढ़ियाँ भी आज हमारे द्वारा पूरी शिद्दत से बचाए जाने वाले उसूलों को इसी नजर से देखेंगी?

उन छह आदमियों में से, जिन्होंने अमेरिका को वह अजूबा और आनंद बनाने में सबसे बड़ा योगदान दिया है जो आज हम सबके लिए है, एक भी व्यक्ति ऐसी सरकार का नागरिक नहीं हो सकता था जैसी यहाँ बनाई जा रही है; क्योंकि वाशिंगटन, फ्रैंकलिन और जेफ़रसन—जो निश्चित रूप से हमारे शुरुआती इतिहास के तीन सबसे शक्तिशाली नेता थे—अपने समय के विधर्मी थे, जिन्हें लोग 'डीइस्ट' (ईश्वरवादी) कहते थे; और गैरिसन, लिंकन और समनर—जो निश्चित रूप से इन बाद के समय के तीन सबसे शक्तिशाली नेता हैं—इन सभी को प्रस्तावित संशोधन के कारण मताधिकार से वंचित कर दिया जाता। यदि संविधान में ऐसा कोई खंड होता, तो लिंकन अपने पद की शपथ भी नहीं ले पाते।

Of the six men who have done most to make America the wonder and the joy she is to all of us, not one could be the citizen of a government so constituted; for Washington and Franklin and Jefferson, certainly the three mightiest leaders in our early history, were heretics in their day, Deists, as men called them; and Garrison and Lincoln and Sumner, certainly the three mightiest in these later times, would all be disfranchised by the proposed amendment. Lincoln could not have taken the oath of office had such a clause been in the Constitution.

कुछ हद तक [श्री बुश की लोकप्रियता] चुनावों को प्रभावित कर रही है, लेकिन सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि अभी चुनाव असल में शुरू ही नहीं हुए हैं। एक समय ऐसा आएगा जब ये चुनाव हर मुकाबले के दोनों उम्मीदवारों पर केंद्रित होंगे। आख़िरकार यह इस बात पर निर्भर नहीं करेगा कि बुश किसी को जिताने में मदद कर रहे हैं या हरा रहे हैं, बल्कि यह उम्मीदवारों के अब तक के रिकॉर्ड पर आधारित होगा।

To some extent it [Mr. Bush's standing in the polls] is affecting the races, but only because the races really haven't begun. At some point these races are going to be about the two candidates in each race.

राष्ट्रपति ने इस बारे में सरकार के दृष्टिकोण को लेकर कुछ नहीं कहा कि कैरोलिना राज्यों के अलग होने की क्या संभावना है। हालाँकि, उत्तर के अन्य राजनेताओं द्वारा इस पर अक्सर चर्चा की जाती थी। मुझे लगता है कि इस बात पर सभी की एक ही राय थी कि यहाँ कोई सेना नहीं भेजी जाएगी।

स्पीकर का पद लगभग उतना ही पुराना है जितनी खुद संसद। इसकी शुरुआत मध्यकाल में हुई थी जब इंग्लैंड के आम लोगों - यानी कॉमन्स - को राजा के साथ बातचीत करने के लिए एक ऐसे प्रवक्ता की ज़रूरत थी जो उनकी शिकायतों को आवाज़ दे सके और उनकी अर्जियाँ सामने रख सके। उस समय यह काम बिल्कुल भी सुरक्षित या आसान नहीं था, और जो लोग इस भूमिका के लिए आगे आ सकते थे, उन्हें आम तौर पर यह ज़िम्मेदारी स्वीकार करने के लिए दबाव डालना पड़ता था।

The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions. This was by no means a safe or easy thing to do at that time, and potential spokesman generally had to be pressured into accepting the responsibility.

तकनीकी चीज़ों को गढ़ी गई चीज़ों, यानी सामाजिक और सांस्कृतिक परिघटनाओं के रूप में न समझ पाने की जो व्यापक असमर्थता है, उसकी वजह यह है कि बाद में मुड़कर देखने पर केवल वही तकनीकें 'बची रह जाती हैं' जो किसी संस्कृति के लिए काम की साबित होती हैं और जिन्हें रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में अपनाया जा सकता है। हालाँकि, यह सोचना कि क्या चीज़ उपयोगी, सफल और काम की है, खुद सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक और आख़िर में राजनीतिक व आर्थिक प्रक्रियाओं का ही नतीजा होता है। चयन की प्रक्रियाओं और जिन उत्पादों या उनके रूपों को छोड़ दिया गया है, उन पर आमतौर पर कोई चर्चा नहीं होती।

The widespread inability to understand technological artifacts as fabricated entities, as social and cultural phenomena, derives from the fact that in retrospect only those technologies that prove functional for a culture and can be integrated into everyday life are 'left over.' However, the perception of what is functional, successful and useful is itself the product of social and cultural--and last but not least--political and economic processes. Selection processes and abandoned products and product forms are usually not discussed.

There is a diverse meaning to the lyrics as well. A lot of the stuff I write is from a personal level but is not really anything that I care about if people get or not so I write alot of the stuff as metaphors based in Viking mythology and Viking History which is sort of my main interest in life and sort of my main atmosphere in life.

इतिहास गवाह है कि अवसर हमेशा से गिने-चुने लोगों को ही मिलते रहे हैं, जिससे अश्वेतों और महिलाओं को बाहर रखा गया। इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि उस दायरे में मौजूद लोगों में प्रतिभा या मेहनत की कमी है, बल्कि इससे उन कहानियों, रचनात्मक विचारों और दृष्टिकोणों का दायरा सीमित हो जाता है जिन्हें दुनिया के सामने आना चाहिए।

Historically, opportunity has been afforded to a limited pool of people, excluding people of color and women. That doesn't diminish the talent or hard work of the people within that pool, but it does narrow the field of stories that have been told, and of the creative ideas and perspectives out there.

The first seastead happened fifteen centuries ago. The result was the most beautiful city in the world, Venice. People who were sick of their violent governments fled to the water, where they built civilization on stilts.
