Zitat des Tages über Vermutung / Presumption:

We all have the problem of what do you do with the not-guilty-yet in free and democratic societies where you have the presumption of innocence. It's a very difficult problem. Ron Johnson

It wasn't like anybody said, 'Oh, Ronald Reagan will have a landslide in 1980.'

Scott Brown

Denis Healey refused to contribute an article to the 'Guardian' about his intentions, and was punished by the electorate - and then all Labour MPs - for his presumption in assuming they already knew everything about him. He became famously the best prime minister we never had. Perhaps.
