Back in the East you can't do much without the right papers, but with the right papers you can do anything The believe in papers. Papers are power.
I pointed out that the Atlanta Olympic bomber - as well as Timothy McVeigh and the people who protest against gay rights at military funerals - are Christians but we journalists don't identify them by their religion.
Violence against women in all its forms is a human rights violation. It's not something that any culture, religion or tradition propagates.
The respect for human rights, essential if we are to use technology wisely, is not something alien that must be grafted onto science. On the contrary, it is integral to science, as also to scholarship in general.
The respect for human rights is nowadays not so much a matter of having international standards, but rather questions of compliance with those standards.

I don't really care how or why Obama got to the right place on gay marriage. I'm just glad he got there.
