发帖数: 648 | 3 你完全忽视了清教徒在美国建国和繁荣过程中的重大作用。自由主义和个人主义在西方
不是新鲜的东西，欧洲历来也有。美国的强大和繁荣更多的是依托清教徒的开创性的工

LIVING STANDARD,FOCUS ON RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN
BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL AND THE CHURCH ETC.就是在今天，美国人也有60-70% CLAIM
THEIR BELIEF IN GOD.BUT ONLY 30%-40% ARE REGULAR CHURCH GOERS. 在欧洲，这个
比例远远更加低。
没有清教徒，美国就不能成之为美国。自由主义和个人主义带来的只能是整个社会更加
的堕落。因为个人本身就是有软弱和原罪，是靠不住的。任由自由主义和个人主义泛滥

俺在亚麻混了几年，觉得是一个很有意思的地方。虽然以前也混过一些大大小小的公司

亚麻至少可以排前二。

●景气萧条时，大多数行业难免感到压力，餐馆业者自亦不在话下。据报导，单是年初一月间，就有40家关门大吉，一些本钱稍雄厚的大型餐馆，虽然挺得住一时，但因生意显著冷清，只好在价钱上作微调，以吸引顾客上门；比方食客最企盼、每年于夏季及冬季共举行两次的餐馆周（在这一星期中大多数餐馆皆祭出特价让食客有物超所值的愉悦），就悄然地无限期延长；名餐馆Craft推出「简约周五」(Frugal Friday)的花招；有些餐馆甚至不惜推出廉价特餐，预备长期抗战。
如今每逢周末，餐馆虽仍出现客满局面，但以往一晚做三轮生意的美景则不复见，而客人们一顿吃下来，也很少狂饮超过一瓶餐酒的，小费更鲜见一掷千金的豪情。这种紧缩现象最严重的恐怕要属中城牛排馆及上西城餐馆，理由很简单—受到金融公司雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)破产的 |
