Ce résultat lamentable est pourtant assez typique de la ligne suivie par le parquet du procureur genevois: taper fort sur les petites mains du trafic de drogue et négliger les enquêtes sur des crimes en "col blanc", qui ont pourtant des impacts bien plus importants. Une ligne que les Genevois semblent avoir eux-mêmes corroborée, puisqu'Olivier Jornot #PLR, ancien de #vigilance , parti genevois d' #extrêmedroite , a été réélu à ce poste 4x depuis 2013. #cliniquecorela

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
To me, the democratic system represents man’s best and brightest hope of self-fulfillment, of a life rich in promise and free from fear; the one hope, perhaps, for the complete development of the whole man. But I know, and learn more clearly every day, that we cannot keep our system strong and free by neglect, by taking it for granted, by giving it our second-best attention. We must be prepared, like the suitor in The Merchant of Venice — and, I might point out, the successful suitor — to give and hazard all we have.Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Essay (1961-04), “What Has Happened to the American Dream?” Atlantic Monthly

I knew there was no chance. He was straight, or at least unavailable in every way that mattered. But my body didn’t care about logic. My heart rate was up. My muscles were tense. False hope. The Dutch have a word for it: ijdele hoop. The kind of hope that costs you something.
