人物周刊：我知道也有一些讨论，关于你是应该继续担任民盟的领导人，还是应该离开它，做一个超越政治的独立人物，推动全国和解。

昂山素季：是的，我经常回答这个问题。我觉得如果一个人认为他是超越政党的，那是非常危险的一件事，我想他会变成一个独裁者。因为如果你希望建立民主体制，你就必须建立政党体制，政党竞争是民主体制的一部分。若你认为自己在政党之上，你已经在通往独裁的非常危险的道路上了。

这是昂山素季接受《南方人物周刊》采访时的话，让人一下子明白了她为何不愿从历史中退休，被供起来做个圣人，而是甘心踩在民主的泥地里，把自己弄脏。毫无疑问，前者要轻松得多，并且可以博得一个几乎是永久的好名声。但缅甸政治转型的尘埃远未落定，对她和这个国家来说，参与斗争很可能比作壁上观更有效，虽然后人给她的评价可能因此不会高过中国上次转型契机来临时怕脏了手而放弃政治的赵前总理。套用 Harvey Mansfield 的话：Partisanship isn’t enough, but it is essential.

谈天说地: 妙用Dropbox

liumiao:

昨天我发现一个类似于Dropbox的云存储服务Copy，它提供更大的存储空间（起始5G，每邀请一个新用户双方各增加5G）。而Dropbox的功能却越来越强大，仅仅用它来存储文件似乎有些浪费，因此我将要存储的大文件都移到了Copy，以使Dropbox有限的空间发挥更多作用。

据我所知，Dropbox至少可以用于以下用途：

1. 当作网站服务器

可以将Dropbox某个文件夹当成Blog服务器，发布修改Blog从此更简单，Dropbox每天提供20G流量，足够大多数人使用。目前提供这种服务的有以下几个网站：

Backlift

reddygoshoot: Taking flight. I was sitting and reading on the chaise lounge in my room when I noticed a few tiny shapes darting around the Albizia (tree) in our backyard. Looking closely, I realized it was a couple of humming birds feeding and playing with each other in the branches. Thankfully my camera was on-hand to capture them in action! ~Sithara Reddy~

gettyimagesarchive: North Korea 1973. By John Bulmer When freelance photographer John Bulmer gained access to North Korea in 1973 it was something of a coup. On assignment for the UK’s leading-edge Sunday Times Magazine, Bulmer was one of the first foreign journalists to be given access to the country since the end of the Korean war in 1953. Working in colour, then still seen largely as the domain of the advertising world, Bulmer brought back pictures that gave a rare and fascinating glimpse inside a country that was little known about and less seen.
