发帖数: 4796 | 2 LASIK eye surgery should be taken off market, former FDA adviser says
LASIK eye surgery has been popular for more than 20 years, with an estimated
20 million Americans undergoing the procedure to correct nearsightedness
and improve distance vision. But some patients say the surgery has ruined
their eyesight.
The quick, minimally-invasive surgery uses a laser to cut a flap to reshape
the cornea at the front of the eye. Now an expert who once backed LASIK is
campaigning to get it off the market.

发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Mar 17 20:26:34 2020, 美东)
下面幾位被公讓為美國有史以來最偉大的四位總統，頭像被刻在了拉什莫爾山上。可是
他們卻早在希特勒對猶太人進行種族滅絕之前，就對印第安人先採取了相似的政策……
原作者的這個提法固然有些聳人聽聞，過於偏激，但也有幾分在理之處，哈哈。當然，

马云的五大麻烦
对于这场冲突，国内外舆论均非常关注。因为这里面隐含了几个子问题：
1、一个并非无懈可击的大企业公开叫板主管部门，它会有怎样的结局；
2、阿里巴巴，特别是淘宝上存在的假货、劣质货问题，将如何解决，这涉及到数十万买家和上亿买家的利益。
3、关于阿里巴巴背后“特殊股东”的传言“借势再起”，会不会酝酿出新的事件；
4、阿里巴巴会不会在美国遭遇集体诉讼，甚至引来美国监管部门的巨额罚单；
5、整个中国电子商务的格局，会不会因为这一黑天鹅事件，发生重大变局。
正是因为有这些不确定性，加上阿里巴巴最近一个季度业绩存在某些不尽如人意的地方，阿里的股价在最近两天暴跌超过10%，市值缩水200多亿美元，相当于跌掉了一个推特。

如果说是共和主义思想奠定了美国的宪政基础，资本主义制度造就了美国的空前繁荣，
那么，个人主义理念则是构建美国精神的核心价值。
在18世纪，美国的知识份子都与开国元勋们的共和主义同调合拍，尤其是在19世纪，他
们总体上都认同以拉尔夫-爱默生（Ralph Emerson）为代表的个人主义－－这是美国人
生活方式的核心。美国的开国元勋们一致认为个人主义理念对于维护自由制度而言是不
可或缺的。在普通美国人的心目中，个人主义首先与共和主义密不可分，其次和民主密
不可分。虽然在欧洲，那里的人们习惯性地将个人主义视为对利他主义道德价值观的威
胁，但在美国，个人主义却被认为是道德的根基；在欧洲，人们总是把个人主义描述为
“社会进步”的障碍，而在美国，个人主义却被视为社会进步的主要推动力之一。
然而，从1920年代末开始，美国与欧洲之间的这一巨大而重要的差别却开始变得模糊起

After the Republican National Convention (RNC), Mr. President Obama drank
some funnels more of his home-made beer and stumbled into the Saturday Night
Live (SNL) for venting. Unfortunately, the Watergate 7.2 bugs still work as
hell well as any new ones, and they still leak.
SNL: Hello, Mr. President? The real you? No mocking?
Obama: Hell-O. SNAIL.
SNL: What?! It is pronounced as S, N, L.
Obama: I call it snail, because it is sticky, gooey, nast... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 29846 | 40 离2012美国总统大选还有两个月，共和党和民主党的全国代表大会都相继召开，候选人
辩论的焦点，是经济和就业。美国失业率过去4年一直在8%的水平徘徊，虽然与欧元区
两位数的失业率和希腊、西班牙超过20 %的失业率相比，美国数字不是那么糟，但这一
数字持续时间之长，是二战后仅见，它也是期望竞选连任的奥巴马总统挥之不去的梦魇。
罗姆尼和奥巴马的经济政策，以及他们在未来两月的表现，将直接影响那些犹疑不决、
举棋不定的选民，会怎样投票。用经济方略来说服10%左右的摇摆选民，对奥巴马和罗
姆尼都至关重要。
奥巴马的经济政策
奥巴马的经济高参，是白宫经济顾问委员会（Council of Economic Advisers），委员
会用获得的数据进行研究和分析，然后给总统提供国内和国际经济政策的建议。委员会
只有三个人，主席是克鲁格，另外两位是亚伯拉翰和夏皮洛。委员会的目的，是分析经
济动向，为提高和促进美国的就业、生产和民众购买力建言。
阿兰-克鲁格（Alan Krueger）是哈佛经济博士，原为普林斯顿的经济和公共事务学教
授，是位劳动经济学家，对失业、教育经济、收入分配、社会保险及环境经济都有深... 阅读全帖 |

Any citizen of any country at any time in history had been permitted to go
the mansion of the leader and sing his praises. But that is not freedom.
Freedom means being able to criticize the leader, even unfairly, without
being questioned, certainly without being hauled before the magistrates and
sentenced to public service, fined, or incarcerated.
Westerners are rapidly losing the freedom to speak out. Not against our
political leaders, except perhaps in Russia. (Silly me, I alre... 阅读全帖 |

领导力，让所有人都服的总统，至于什么政策都是次要，现在美国太分裂了 |

以前黑人都是支持共和党的。 因为美国没啥福利， 倒是共和党林肯给了他们自由，
给了工作。 结果冥猪党罗斯福开始搞这些福利， 结果黑人全部倒戈到免费吃喝上了

Blacks mostly voted Republican from after the Civil War and through the
early part of the 20th century. That’s not surprising when one considers
that Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, and the white,
segregationist politicians who governed Southern states in those days were
Democrats. The Democratic Pa... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 2865 | 45 Contrary to your twisted logic, experience in private industry and some
pathetically small Winter Olympics in the middle of nowhere has nothing to
do with being a great president.
Did Franklin Delano Roosevelt work in private industry
Did Abraham Lincoln?
You with your limited knowledge in US history bought into the Romney sales
pitch that a great CEO == a great President, which can't be further from
truth. |

In yet another facile example of the Old Media equating President Obama’s
presidency to the greatness of Abraham Lincoln’s, NBC News correspondent
Kevin Tibbles used the occasion of the opening of the new Lincoln movie
helmed by Director Steven Spielberg to do just that.
On Saturday’s NBC Nightly News, Tibbles reported on the opening of a movie
that has widespread Oscar buzz, Spielberg’s Lincoln a project that was more
than a decade in the making.

Under pressure from fellow Republicans, Mississippi Senator Trent Lott
recently stepped down from his post as Senate Majority Leader because of
racially offensive comments he made earlier in the month. He was persuaded
to take this step by Republicans who believed that his comments were at odds
with the principles of their party.
Of course, Democrats have used the Lott affair to pillory the Republicans as
racists. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who had fir... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 301 | 49 美国财政危机和林肯遗产
曹长青
引起两党重大争议的所谓财政悬崖的美国预算危机，终于在两党妥协下获得解决，双方
都有所让步（但共和党全面妥协，民主党是赢家），最后通过了国会财政议案。
这场争论，不仅对美国，也对中国，以及世界各国的经济，都具有意义，因为它涉及到
经济的核心问题，即要减税，还是增税；是要扩大政府花销，还是要削减。增税（扩大
政府开销）的理由是，强调政府可通过对富人多征税，实现社会平等（再分给穷人，进
行社会财富二次分配）。减税（削减政府开销）的理由是，个人的财产政府没有权力强
行收缴；私有财产神圣不可侵犯，强调的是小政府和个人自由。
那麽哪一种理论符合美国的根本价值和建国先贤的理念呢？
值此美国两党为税收争论之际，好莱坞推出一部被很多媒体称赞的大片《林肯》。这部
美国总统传记是导演过《辛德勒的名单》和《ET》等叫座片的名家斯皮尔伯格的新作。
这部电影跟美国两党的税收政策的争论没有直接关系，却跟如何看待林肯，如何看到美
国立国之本有关，实质上可为理解美国两党（也包括世界上的左右两大派政党）的税收
政策争论提供线索，或者说是“钥匙”。
一般人提到美国第十六任总统林肯，自然想到他... 阅读全帖 |
