The ideal political vision is moving away from us
The triumph of liberal democracy is no doubt a foregone conclusion. In fact, Fukuyama's ideal polity is the product of great political forces and a particular historical moment. Democracy itself is of course a very old political principle, which seems to be based on the naive idea of rule by the people, or dēmos. The central idea is that individuals should not be seen as powerless individuals under the whip of a tyrant, but should be able to participate in the establishment of governing institutions and rules. To achieve this, they must have the opportunity to participate actively in political life.
I began my life cheerfully
I'm looking forward to a writer, had better be a female writer, she was different with others, she is writing a book to write a book, relaxation and wit, agile and enthusiasm, simple, said she had seen the world, see the world, seen the heart, but is not the scare, one day, she decided to use novel magic, with fictional muti alms, let the reader to joy and cheer, relieves stress, antidote, After reading the last page and closing the book, readers can "happily embark on my life." It's not easy to do that. It's really not easy.
The Executioner
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That’s what they told me when I was appointed High Executioner for the Galactic Empire. I soon found out that was a bold-faced lie. It will be easy, they said, and painless for the condemned. Those slated for execution were to be jettisoned from Ares X prison hold, one of the largest penitentiary satellites in the Ganymede Galaxy. As the appointed High Executioner for the Galactic Empire, I was expected not to just observe from the safety of the porthole in the hold, I had to don a flight suit and float out into that nothingness and serve as a witness.

“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Still, they’ll scream anyway. They always do. Deputy, sound general quarters.”

Inspace
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. What they never tell you is that, if you are screaming in a vacuum, you're already dead...you just haven't noticed that fact yet.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But that scream comes from the silence. A deafening silence. The silence of creation.

That's The Game
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Turns out, most every sound is whisked away by the gaping expanse of the cosmos— horror, yes, but elation, and surprise, and melancholy, and blithe, too. And the whir of engine on top of it all, smothered or beckoned away—a matter of perspective, really—by the stars, turning this untread celestial terrain oddly peaceful. Suspending this barren ship against its starry neighbors, nigh indistinguishable to their gentle presence—or it would be, if those stupid burning pinprick explosions would stop being so loud.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That is exploding in my mind as I see that I have landed on an asteroid without atmosphere, and I am definitely not in a space suit. All those hours of repetitive training takes over and I immediately switch focus to my second destination choice. All those boring hours that seemed so worthless have now kicked in and I am essentially on autopilot. I know that I cannot try to breathe, to do so is instant death. The refocus to my secondary destination will take only 15 seconds but with what I have done to get to and then away from the worthless piece of space rock has taken almost a full 2 minutes so far and if the secondary is also a toxic selection, then I will need to use my final fail safe. Just how long can I hold my breath, damn I really didn’t concentrate on that part of the training, never thought I would need it.
