Obama's Cairo University Speech and the Global Commemoration of Tiananmen Square Massacre

In US, the global commemoration of the Tiananmen Square Massacre 20 years ago is inevitably overshadowed by Obama's brilliant speech given at Cairo University. Nonetheless, I have found the following excerpt from the President's discourse today of particular significance to our reflection on the event 20 years ago:

"... there are some who advocate for democracy only when they are out of power; once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others. No matter where it takes hold, government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who hold power: you must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities, and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise; you must place the interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party."

Byebye Sporty...Hello Boxy~

Just traded my 2005 Scion tC for the all new Nissan Cube 1.8 SL. Check out my new ride!

Baby...we had a wonderful time together, I'm sorry but it's time for us to move on. I'll never forget you...even when I am inside someone else *~*

Hello, Cubie~...Let's Roll!!

Boxy physique, asymmetric window, anti-aerodynamic design...even Nissan refuses to call it a car, the official title for Cube is "mobile device"...I know, for a second I too thought it was a cellphone. Love it or hate it, at least it's not mediocre (~~)

The design is said to be inspired by "bulldog in sunglasses", can you tell?

Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.
