You look at Superman, the story of an orphan coming to America, keeping his identity secret and even the names, Kal-El and Jor-El, you can trace lines to the background of the creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, both Jewish.

Counts
What we are witnessing is the birth of something I call 'Polisdigitocracy.'

- Eduardo Paes
Gotten

- Jessica Jackley
Religious
To restore the American experiment in democratic self-government, religious believers need to redouble their civic efforts.

About

- Kenyon Martin
Trading
Liberalized trade - in broadly multilateral, regional, or bilateral agreements - is a key ingredient in the recipe for prosperity... An absolute prerequisite for long-term economic growth is full participation in the global economy and trading system.

- Evgeny Morozov
Convert
My friends in the opposition have forgotten that the constitution of the Philippines was amended in 1973 with their participation.

The president in such a situation can issue decrees and edicts.
- Ferdinand Marcos
Reach
Use
When I visit schools, I try to reach kids who perhaps don't have books at home or aren't that keen on reading.

- Korky Paul

Look at what the Omar of Qatar is doing, for example - the King of Morocco, Jordan, Bahrain. There are reform movements taking place, efforts to broaden the political participation of the populations of the region.
- Frank Carlucci
No Question
I get asked this a lot: Why has soccer not succeeded? My answer is, soccer has succeeded. It is already the fastest growing youth participation sport in the U.S. It has already succeeded at the youth level, no question.

Entitled
In cyberspace, people with different skin colors, nationalities, cultures and languages should be equally entitled to participation, free speech and development. We should abandon prejudices, respect differences, and be tolerant and open.

Rules
Euro
Our position in Europe is not negotiable. The Greek people will defend it by all means. But participation in the euro involves rules and obligations, which we must consistently meet. Greece belongs to Europe and Europe cannot be envisaged without Greece.

Role
Decided
I have decided to end my participation in public affairs and to resign my role as premier of Quebec.
- Lucien Bouchard
Average
Audience participation can often inject a dose of adrenalin into your average dial-tone literary reading, especially if a handful of audience-members are mentally unhinged, and let's face it - you can always depend on at least one crackpot at these things.
- Lynn Coady
Firmly
We firmly believe the environmental issues cannot be addressed without extensive public participation, but people need to be informed before they can get involved.
- Ma Jun
