| 明明離我們最近也是最重要的近代史 |
 |
| 為甚麼只在第三學期就匆匆結束 |
 |
| 事發還不足一百年的首相暗殺事件 |
 |
| 在教科書上只有區區數行描寫 |
 |
| 他是在作樣的背景下 又是因為怎樣的主張才被殺的 |
 |
| 這些才是我們應該學習的東西吧 |
 |
| 可是沒有人覺得這有甚麼不妥 |
 |
| 那是因為就算進行填鴨式教育 |
 |
| 社會也在隨之運作著 |
 |
| 不過這種扭曲 最後以喪失個性為表象呈現出來 |
 |
| 只能模糊地理解自我走向的我們 |
 |
| 對自己失去了信心 |
 |
| 繼而害怕迎戰 開始附和他人 |
 |
| 最經典的例子 就是人們被媒體玩弄 |
 |
| 只用片面的意見對事物蓋棺定論 |
 |
| 我們在不知不覺中 被剝奪了個性 |
 |
| 成為了那種不依賴誰 |
 |
| 就活不下去的毫無骨氣可言的人 |
 |
| 接受著這種教育 只會粉飾太平的人們 |
 |
| 在無意識中 |
 |
| 萌生出不會為之愧疚的惡意 |
 |
| 然后卑鄙地逼迫那些弱者 |
It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.呢句應該係收錄响戴卓爾夫人嘅自傳入面，俾電影拎咗嚟用。因為無嗰本書，所以個 Context 係乜，真係唔知，搵到嘅，大概都係話講緊當今响英國嘅政治人物，都係只係走去模仿或者係跟隨佢嘅路線或者作風。
呢件事一路就係用文革方式的手法，來整咗我同事（嚴磊輝）個大頭相，又整李生（李嘉誠）幅大頭相，用文革方式來做...乜嚴生唔係管 HIT 咋咩? 點講，HIT 都只係
late 14c., from Old French comunicacion (14c., Modern French communication), from Latin communicationem (nominative communicatio), noun of action from past participle stem of communicare "to share, divide out; communicate, impart, inform; join, unite, participate in," literally "to make common," from communis (see common (adj.)).
曼聯嘅一篇致意，展示出體育精神之餘，亦都帶出作為一個人應有嘅態度:24 years ago on Monday, 96 Liverpool supporters went to an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough and never came home. We will never forget them.
Today, Manchester United stands with our great neighbours, Liverpool, to remember the tragic loss of 96 football fans who went to watch their team and never came back.同樣係 24 年，中國政府有對人民作為人去看待嗎?
Militarism is "the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests."
工友飽受不人道剝削：一更長達72小時、卻規定只得15分鐘食飯。工時愈長，薪金卻由17年前的$1,400蚊減到$1,200。碼頭內職安健欠奉，意外頻生，卻絕不會上報到勞工處。因為工時特長，不少工友面對婚姻問題；有工友坦言，每次放工只能回家不斷睡，根本不能與子女說多一句話。李嘉誠奪去的，不單是基本的工作尊嚴，還有工人生命的全部。數字應為約數，根據另一左翼21嘅文章:
自03年SARS以來，公司一直未有加薪。為了養家，不少碼頭工人（繫絪員和橋邊理貨員）都要連續工作最少24小時。在船期最旺的時候，更要連續工作72 小時不等，這十分影響工友的工作健康。然而，公司不單將工人的健康置之不理，更完全不給予超時及通宵工作的工人何津貼。現時揸紙和水爺工作一連三更，只得 $1115，比起1997年 $1480的工資水平更要低。換句話說，他們現時平均時薪大約只有 $ 50。十年無加過人工，工時卻不斷超標，真的是「養起李嘉誠，養不了家庭」。實際時薪為:
有任職吊臂操作員十多年的碼頭工人表示，九七年入職時的時薪五十三元，金融風暴後減至四十九元，前年薪金約六十元，今次罷工導致手停口停，但仍堅持爭取加薪。假設當時唔同工種嘅減幅一樣，1999年 (即金融風暴後) 繫絪員/橋邊理貨員嘅時薪係57蚊。

全球發達地區都面對貧富懸殊，與香港一樣計劃扶貧的首爾，由曾當民權律師的民選市長朴元淳力排眾議，在3年內把福利開支由24％提升至30％，並開放政府的耳朵，與民共議房屋、健康及教育等五大範疇訂福利基準線，以免有首爾人在「福利死角」過着貧窮生活。面對反對勢力，朴元淳直言他在選舉所得的多數支持，正是他推動首爾成為共享城市的最大後盾。
眼見首爾官方的開放胸襟，曾拜訪首爾市長的方敏生坦言十分羨慕。「香港沒有理性的討論制度，任何諮詢只在試底線，大家就漫天開價，而不是解決問題。」她指首爾模式可讓官方聽到社會聲音，亦讓公眾明白資源分配的優次。
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got upset about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
And the status of the middle class within that hierarchy is clearly a unique one – in-between the "upper-class" elite and the "lower-class" workers, in-between the upper crust and the wage earners, in-between the envy of the world and the pitied ones.

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.一位香港的大律師在 2004 年引用過:
他雖然不能接受示威者的意見，但願意犧牲自己的性命去保護抗議者的言論自由，「我將用一生來捍衛這種權利。」一位蜚聲國際的荷里活演員、大導演在 2012 年說過:
應該限制港人遊行權利，規定什麼可以遊行，什麼不能遊行。這說明了為何要讀書。
