9 March: why we are ‘brothers of the world’
What were we like? At the very beginning we were a group of gentlemen dressed in black and white; Italians and a few Swiss. In those days the Swiss were foreigners, or rather immigrants, and Milan could offer them a future. We spoke about football as we still do. AC Milan existed just like today but we wouldn’t have anything to do with them. On that evening on 9 March 1908 we met up for dinner at a restaurant near the Cathedral. Muggiani, the artist, was there and he showed us the badge. It was black, blue and gold.
We thought we could play football, English football; and as we weren’t all Italian we decided to call ourselves Internazionale.
‘Brothers of the World’, we wrote in the statute.
The following year we won the first of our 18 league championships. Since then we have reached the highest peaks in Europe and in the world.
Who are we? The same people, if we think about it. We have great faith in the passport of champions, which has brought so many honours to our trophy room, though a lot has changed over the years.
Now we speak lots of languages and are in touch with tens of millions of fans throughout the world, but we have held on to that hand-painted badge, even in the days when computers can provide us with standardised graphics.
Now that many generations have lived through two world wars with us, through the glory of many victories as well as the barren years, now that we have lived through a dictatorship that forced us to call ourselves Ambrosiana, that we have been taken into a new republic, in a rebuilt Milan, and through a ‘68 that never lost faith in football, now, in 2011, we can thank them, the founding members, who foresaw what we would become.
Now that 10,000 children throughout the world wear our shirt in the name of Inter Campus, as we try to give them back their smile on the dusty pitches where abandoned children are the norm, we aren’t so different.
103 years old today. They haven’t been easy. We’ve taken brave stances for the good of common sense, not that it has always been good. We are honest and forward-thinking. We started by living an adventure and we are still living it. To make Inter great. Then as now.
There have been many names along the way. Players, coaches, directors, presidents. The Moratti family, perhaps one name above all in our 103-year legend. And the fans. So many of them, vast numbers spread throughout the globe – a reflection of the times in 2011 – with different languages, races, religions and traditions, but all united by a common faith. Black, blue at the edge of the night. With a splashing of gold. And it began on that evening on 9 March 1908.

| HanSolo: |
Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
Would you please stop calling me that?
|
| HanSolo: |
Sure, Leia.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
You make it so difficult sometimes.
|
| HanSolo: |
I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
Occasionally, maybe... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel.
|
| HanSolo: |
Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that. [Han starts to massage Leia's hand]
|
| PrincessLeia: |
Stop that.
|
| HanSolo: |
Stop what?
|
| PrincessLeia: |
[timidly] Stop that. My hands are dirty.
|
| HanSolo: |
My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of?
|
| PrincessLeia: |
Afraid?
|
| HanSolo: |
You're trembling.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
I'm not trembling.
|
| HanSolo: |
[moves in closer] You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
I happen to like nice men.
|
| HanSolo: |
I'm a nice man.
|
| PrincessLeia: |
No, you're not. You're...[they kiss] |

Jump First, Fear Later!: The Ruling Class Theory - Indonesia
menarik bri. entrepreneur sih udah berkuasa dari jaman kapan. tapi melihat pentingnya berpolitik yg bersih=dana kampanye bukan pinjeman yg harus dibalikin=harus punya uang melimpah sendiri=entrepreneur, maka kalau golongan ini mau ikhlas berpolitik, inilah yg bisa diandalkan.

WACANA PERTAMA (The Rulling Class)
Ingin menuliskan kembali apa yang saya dapat dari teman saya tentang wacana The Rulling Class yang konon ditulis oleh Anies Baswedan. Pada intinya, The Ruling Class merujuk pada sekelompok orang yang pada masa mudanya menjadi bagian dari kelompok sosial/politik…
