"The most outrageous example of this may be radical [leftist] lawyer Lynne Stewart, who was convicted in 2005 February of smuggling messages [marching orders] for the jailed sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the master-mind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Why did Stewart become an errand girl for blood-thirsty jihad terrorists? She explained: 'To rid ourselves of the entrenched, voracious type of capitalism that is in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism, I don't think that can come non-violently.' How did Stewart get the idea that Omar Abdel Rahman, a traditionalist Muslim who no doubt believes that women exist to serve men an that disobedient ones should be beaten(as per Quran 4:34), was a champion of the fight against racism and sexism? Well, he's fighting the 'white man', isn't he [thus suggesting that he is both racist and sexist]?" --- Robert Spencer 2005 _The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)_ pg177 |

"When on 1870-07-19, the French declared war, they were not aware of the speed of the German mobilization... The French used out-moded cavalry tactics, & their artillery was still fighting Krupp's breech-loading guns with muzzle-loading. But in their mitrailleuses they possessed an early machine-gun, & their infantry was equipped with the chassepot rifle that was vastly better than the Prussian needle gun." --- Hajo Holborn 1969 _An History of Modern Germany 1840-1945_ pp 215-216 |
"Concerning attorneys & apprentices the Lord King enjoined Mattingham & his fellows to provide & ordain at their discretion a certain number, from every County of the better, worthier, & more promising... And that those so chosen should follow the Court & take part in its business; & no others." --- Edward i 1291 (quoted in Alfred H. Knight 1996 _The Life of the Law_ pg 28) |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

"Science doesn't merely empower us, as in seeding better technologies; it also helps prevent trouble in the 1st place. Knowledge can be like a vaccine, immunizing you against false fears & bad moves." --- William H. Calvin 1996 _How Brains Think_ pg 41 |
