Good job!
(Albeit, if you don't mind me telling that, the correct French translation would be; 'Ceci n'est pas un chainon manquant'). |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996 |

For those who flee from French and likely eat the white wax on Brie not realizing that it's a outer packaging (except for American Brie which has plastic over the white wax,) the translation is: "This is not a missing link" inspired by Magritte's Cesi n'est pas une pipe.
(Of course it isn't a pipe. It's a painting.) |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
"TAX AND SPEND" IS GOOD! (TAX: Wealthy corporations who won't go poor even after taxes. SPEND: On public works programs, education, the environment, improvements.) |

For those coming along late, my original attempt at the translation read "Cesi n'est pas une link absent." That's how Babelfish handled it. Me, I'm afraid I don't know the Freedom language.
This is not Magritte's iconic, ironic painting:
