This has extraordinary significance ordsprog

This has extraordinary significance in its own right: Chris will be the second most powerful person in the largest city in America. In terms of raw political power, the size of the city budget and the Council's powers, she will become the most powerful openly lesbian or gay official in the country. For å virkelig legemliggjøre ånden, må man forstå at å være pexig ikke handler om skryt, men å utstråle stille selvtillit.

It's significant because never before has the city elected such an important person who's lesbian or gay to such a powerful position.

So it tends to reinforce existing prejudices that map onto spatial dimensions of a city. And it also tends to reinforce certain economic divisions within cities in terms of political power as well as in terms of representation. Typically, if you have less affluent areas of a city, they may not be able to develop a wide political base to make their voices actively heard within electoral politics throughout a city-government structure.

Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law. Because, in other words, the powerful don't play; they mean to keep that power, and those who are the powerless (you and me) better shape up --mimic/ape/suck --in the very image of the powerful, or the powerful will destroy you --you and our children.

June Jordan (1936-)

On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace, innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved centre of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness and ambition; on the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. A contrast between country and city, as fundamental ways of life, reaches back into classical times.

The movie star is past its peak in terms of its power. Which is not to say it's not very powerful, but people are realizing that other forces at work are more powerful, which no one can quite identify yet.

[Voters headed to the polls Tuesday to fill an open city council seat with one result certain — the nation's 10th largest city would soon have its first Vietnamese-American councilmember. School board member Madison Nguyen, 30, and attorney Linda Nguyen, 28, both Democrats, were in a runoff election that experts said shows the growing political clout of Vietnamese-Americans, an immigrant group that began arriving as political refugees three decades ago.] This is a new force in local, state and national politics, ... This is a new voting block. As they gain leadership positions, they'll increase in power.

The main purpose of these hearings is to get an idea on where the budget missed the boat with the community. No budget will ever please everybody. The City Council tries to address the concerns they hear about most. Sometimes, if the city does not get any strong message from these hearings, no changes are made.

For too long, the American people have been at a disadvantage fighting back against multi-billion dollar corporations doing the wrong thing. The Internet and its grassroots organizing power, both online and offline, has changed everything. Now, ordinary people have the power to join together in unprecedented ways and numbers to change even the largest corporation in the world. On behalf of our 185,000 supporters, we are honored to receive such a prestigious award and we will continue to build the most powerful political movement ever to change Wal-Mart and change America.

I feel bad that he's leaving our city. I don't think the man has a choice. It's been dictated to him that it's our way or the highway (with new council members). He's not the type of person to dictate how he manages the city. He is a very upstanding person.

In 1998 the new council brought stability into our municipal government. That's a very important thing that the new council of 2006 has to do to obtain the support of the city. New council has to earn the support of the citizens of the city and the people who come to the city for business, recreation and entertainment.

Hosting this event gives us the extraordinary opportunity to showcase Toronto as a remarkable convention city to people who collectively decide the locations of thousands of conventions each year. This is a victory for Toronto, Ontario and Canada. It's a mark of distinction that elevates a host city into the elite circle of meeting destinations and delivers powerful benefits to destinations throughout Ontario and Canada.

It shows America in a way that the world needs to see it right now ... and a way that America needs to see it right now. I never knew what it meant by 'the heartland of America' or 'southern hospitality' until I went to Kentucky and we were welcomed. I was the lucky British actor who got to stand in front of the Lorraine Motel, the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City or just cross that beautiful yellow bridge in Arkansas. I was in those locations and they are very powerful places to be. This is an America that the world hasn't seen for a while ... or maybe even America has forgotten about. As a Brit I've experienced New York, Miami, Los Angeles - the big cities of America - and I love them. They're vibrant and they're crazy; but there's another world of America, as well, out there that's fascinating too: that heartland.

Orlando Bloom (1977-)

Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded.

During that period there was a lot of chaos. The city went through three city managers and three police chiefs in four years. Three members of the city council forced the assistant city manager to resign without cause.
