发帖数: 347 | 1 1, 即时希拉里明确提了黑人在监狱里数目多，左派支持者还是反对这是搞种族平衡。
如何反驳？
2, 左派一方面对毒品泛滥忧心忡忡，但是却又否认希拉里的改革措施会加重毒品犯罪
，这里有没有逻辑问题？还是说现在的严刑峻法确实对阻止毒品没有用？
3, 左派还说这些措施只能说明希拉里希望不要把简单持有毒品的轻罪犯关进监狱。

End the era of mass incarceration
Today in America, more than one out of every 100 adults is behind bars. This
mass incarceration epidemic has an explicit racial bias, as one in three
black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime. A significant number

ach year, Supreme Court reporters and legal pundits devise a “theme” for

narrative about, for example, “the court’s turn to the Left,” the “
triumph of minimalism,” or even its “libertarian moment.” Such

原告，NIU的义工很多都绿了。从策略上来说，NIU唱红脸也比较妥当。
至于具体按什么理由来告，其实是次要的，因为官司输赢不重要，关键是让政府知道中
国EB不能随便欺负，否则要吃官司。美国的宪法给了国会很大的量度移民政策的尺寸。
历史上一系列排外/排华案子，打到最高院都败诉了，等于是最高院认可了歧视性移民

话虽如此，我们可以咨询五壮士案的律师。请他们帮忙找个新的理由应该不是难事。

figure where half earn more and half earn less — was much lower, $26,364.
This disparity reflects the fact that “the distribution of workers by wage
level is highly skewed,” according to Social Security. |

research of the students, who drew from sources as disparate as Google
Earth, blogs, military journals and, perhaps most startlingly, a
fictionalized TV docudrama about Chinese artillery soldiers — the rough
equivalent of watching Fox’s TV show “24” for insights into U.S.
counterterrorism efforts. |

MITT ROMNEY is not the first multi-millionaire to seek the presidency, nor
the richest. Ross Perot, the record-holder, spent some of his billions
earned from computer data on losing bids in 1992 and 1996. Since then men
who owe their or their family’s fortunes to oil, sport, publishing, trial
law, ketchup, beer and bestselling autobiographies have followed.
But Mr Romney, who earned his $200m or so as a private-equity executive
buying and selling companies,... 阅读全帖 |

四月网 2012-02-06
《纽约时报》1月12日报道，原题：美国人如何输掉了iPhone的工作。以下是文章内容
摘编。
中国河南省2010年招聘会上，富士康科技有限公司的求职者蜂拥而至。
去年二月份，巴拉克•奥巴马在加利福尼亚参加矽谷名人们的晚宴，每个客人都
得到了一个向总统提问的机会。
但当斯蒂夫•乔布斯准备发问时，奥巴马总统打断了他，先提出了自己的一个问
题：怎样才能在美国生产iPhone？
不久之前，苹果还在吹嘘它的产品都是在美国生产的，今天事情已经完全不是这样了。
苹果公司去年卖出的7000万部iPhone、3000万部iPad和5900万部其他产品，几乎全是在
海外生产的。
奥巴马问，为什么不能把这些工作搬到家里来做？
乔布斯先生的回答含糊其辞，据参加宴会的人员回忆，他说：“这些工作回不来了。”
总统的发问触及了苹果公司的核心问题所在，这已经不仅仅是海外廉价劳动力的问题了
。苹果高层认为，海外工厂的规模、工人的灵活性、勤奋程度和操作技巧都已经超过了
美国工人。“美国制造”已经不是大部分苹果产品的明智选择... 阅读全帖 |

As of 2005, there were approximately 146,000 (0.1%) households with incomes
exceeding $1,500,000, while the top 0.01% or 11,000 households had incomes
exceeding $5,500,000. The 400 highest tax payers in the nation had gross
annual household incomes exceeding $87,000,000. Household incomes for this
