By Alan Lyndon
President Obama’s efforts for massive healthcare reform endured a
predictable setback in July. With so many moving parts, Obama’s chances of
fast-tracking reform before the August recess were small. For physicians,
the meat of the bill is being buried in the press coverage and appeals to
voters.
In late July, the president went live on primetime for the fourth time in

The Streak spanned 9 presidendial administrations beginning with the Lyndon

What the Tea Partiers Really Want
The passion behind the populist insurgency is less about liberty than a
particularly American idea of karma.
By JONATHAN HAIDT
What do the tea partiers really want? The title of a recent book by two of
the movement's leaders offers an answer: "Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party
Manifesto." The authors, Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe, write that "We just want
to be free. ... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2525 | 11 年开头引用了茶党人的话，说他们想要的只是自由而已。由此引出问题，如果他们追求
的是自由，那么他们和 liberals 有什么区别。
中间论证茶党追求的并不是自由，而是 karma --- 善有善报，恶有恶报，个人要对自
己的行为负责。
论证过程中，先是泛泛地回溯美国社会发展的历史，从罗斯福新政到 Lyndon Johnson
（也是个总统）大力发展福利社会，到小布什和奥巴马通过的各种刺激经济法案，在茶
党人看来，都是政府在削弱 karma ———— 好的行为没有得到奖励，反而是不负责任
的行为令人受益。
在泛泛而论之余，还举了两个电台热心听众的电话为例。第一个电话抱怨量入为出的负
责任的纳税人为什么要帮助 bail out 那些乱借钱的人。第二个是家长抱怨教育系统：
自家孩子刻苦学习时，其他孩子在瞎玩。全班考试平均成绩不佳，虽然他的孩子考得不
错，也要和其他孩子一起重新考试。他希望自己孩子能够不参加重考，学习下一步的内
容，被老师拒绝，因为担心对其他孩子不公平。愤怒的家长于是决定 home school his

发帖数: 865 | 17 这是一部可以一看的电影，但以我们对斯匹尔伯格的期待和
斯匹尔伯格对自己的期许来衡量，是彻底的失败。
现在我想可以作个结论，斯匹尔伯格是用灵感和直觉拍片的
大师，但从来没有在理性的思考上走得很远。他有充满童趣
天真的ET，有制造悬念的决斗和大白鲨，有饱含苦难和希望
的辛德勒，但没有一部对这个世界进行手术解剖的作品。
对比库布里克，工整严谨的Barry Lyndon, 遥想历史未来的
2001，黑色荒诞的Dr. Strangelove, 尖刻讽谑的洛丽塔，
这是一个用批判的头脑创造电影的大师。
我想库布里克是个阅尽沧桑的老人，一个无可救药的悲观者。
而斯匹尔伯格却是一个带着童心的孩子，睁大眼睛期待着奇迹
的发生。
库布里克从来没有落入煽情的陷阱，即使是史诗斯巴达克思
也是如此。斯匹尔伯格还没有意识到自己的局限，即使在以辛德勒
被好莱坞最终承认近十年后，他还是想证明他可以拍“严肃电影”。
观众可以庆幸的是，他至少没忘记电影要娱乐。我们如果可以
忘记斯匹尔伯格的努力，忘记Philipe Dick小说的引人深思之处，
Minority Report至少是可以让人安坐两个半小时的动作大片。

By PAUL KRUGMAN
A man from Mars — or from Europe — might expect Mississippi voters to favor
progressive taxation and generous social programs. After all, the state
benefits immensely from the legacy of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson:
it doesn't pay a lot of federal taxes because it has the lowest per-capita
income in the nation, and it does receive a lot of aid. Unlike, say, New
Jersey, which pays far more into the U.S. Treasury than it gets in return,

Lyndon Johnson很悲惨，越战是他身上的伤疤：“我觉得象是个在德州高速公路上步
行的搭车人，遇见了一场冰雹，无处躲藏，无能为力。”整个越南从1950到1975累计
花费了一千五百亿美元，大大缩减了他能处理国内事物的空间，他知道他的伟大社会
的梦想无法实现，而且他不能承认自己犯了错误。他曾经说，“我们不会把美国孩子
送到万里之外的亚洲去做亚洲孩子们该做的事情。”然而这正是他一直在做。他说轰
炸是针对军事目标的，但报纸上到处是房屋，学校和商店被痍平的报道，无辜的村民
被杀害，包括妇女和儿童，也出现在报纸的新闻里。
与此同时，反战的浪潮席卷美国，数以万计的年轻人，许多是在校园里，焚烧了他们
的征兵卡。Paul Potter，民主社会学生会（SDS）的总裁，代表了他们的抗议：
总统说我们是在保卫越南的自由。谁的自由？不是越南人民的。这场战争
对美国的自由又做了什么？
最初的示威主要是学生们组织的，后来各种组织都开始加入。金博士不仅站在反战的
