• "Šā gada astoņos mēnešos par dažādiem ceļu satiksmes noteikumu pārkāpumiem policija uzlikusi soda naudas 3,1 miljona latu apmērā, kas ir par aptuveni 0,73 miljoniem latu mazāk nekā gadu iepriekš šajā laika posmā, liecina Valsts policijas Satiksmes uzraudzības biroja apkopotie dati."
  
  "Gada astoņos mēnešos soda naudās iekasēti 1,65 miljoni latu, un tas ir par 1,65 miljoniem latu mazāk nekā pagājušā gadā analogā laika posmā."
  
  Atgādināšu, ka 2009. gadā budžetā rindiņa bija "Iekšlietu ministrija / Naudas sodi, ko uzliek Ceļu policija - 5 999 021", un arī 2010. gada budžetā tā ir copy+paste nemainīga: "Naudas sodi, ko uzliek Ceļu policija - 5 999 021"
  
  (Interesanti ka iekasēt arī diezgan precīzi cenšas. Nez cik uz 2011. gadu saplānos.)

• "The Greek public-school system is the site of breathtaking inefficiency: one of the lowest-ranked systems in Europe, it nonetheless employs four times as many teachers per pupil as the highest-ranked, Finland’s. Greeks who send their children to public schools simply assume that they will need to hire private tutors to make sure they actually learn something."
  
  "The Greek state was not just corrupt but also corrupting. Once you saw how it worked you could understand a phenomenon which otherwise made no sense at all: the difficulty Greek people have saying a kind word about one another. [...] No success of any kind is regarded without suspicion. Everyone is pretty sure everyone is cheating on his taxes, or bribing politicians, or taking bribes, or lying about the value of his real estate. And this total absence of faith in one another is self-reinforcing. The epidemic of lying and cheating and stealing makes any sort of civic life impossible; the collapse of civic life only encourages more lying, cheating, and stealing."
