"It sounds cynical to assume that there won't always be a happy ending but, if that's the case, Jesus was the ultimate cynic. 'The poor will be with you always,' he said, and then he continued to fight the systems that oppressed the poor all the way to his death." -- Cheryl Lawrie, "Finding hope between death and resurrection", The Age, 2008-03-23
