“Farther down the block [in Baghdad], a new Internet cafe just opened three weeks ago—$3 an hour buys you a satellite link on a computer that runs Windows, and a shortcut to Yahoo! E-mail is already on the desktop.”
Winston-Salem Journal, 7/12/03

They are all wonderful quotes, but this is the one that is probably closest to every FReeper's heart!

Thanks for posting, RC!

Isn't that great!?

This one gives me goosebumps:

"It was not the usual start to a new school term. ‘Open your books and turn to page four,’ the teacher instructed the pupils sitting in the gloom of an unlit classroom. Obediently they flicked through the pages until they reached the familiar photograph of a smiling Saddam Hussein standing in front of an Iraqi flag. ‘Now rip it out,’ the teacher said, to the astonishment of her pupils."
The Times (London), 5/14/03

If only the press would use their talent for good more often. (^;
