"A positive development that has gathered strength over the past year has been the rise of civic consciousness, the acceptance by ordinary citizens that they too must play a part in the process of change and adaptation. This is not so much protest against the inadequacies of government as recognition of the importance of balancing rights with responsibilities."- Aung San Suu Kyi, Burmese politician and Nobel peace prize-winner
[from "A sense of balance" by Aung San Suu Kyi, in "The World in 2012" from The Economist Newspaper.]
