发帖数: 6571 | 2 Diversity: History's Pathway to Chaos
Victor Davis Hanson
Posted: Aug 25, 2016 12:01 AM
Emphasizing diversity has been the pitfall, not the strength, of nations
throughout history.
The Roman Empire worked as long as Iberians, Greeks, Jews, Gauls and myriad
other African, Asian and European communities spoke Latin, cherished habeas
corpus and saw being Roman as preferable to identifying with their own
particular tribe. By the fifth century, diversity had won out but would soon
prove a fatal liabi... 阅读全帖 |

让他们宣誓归化时签署永远效忠国家包括尊重国旗。如果发生焚烧国旗的这种行为，
revert他的公民身份。对于绿卡持有者也同样办，批审绿卡时也以此为条件，如果发生
焚烧国旗行为，吊销绿卡。
这样既不违宪，因为他可以烧，不算他犯法，但是他违反了他当初获得绿卡或者公民身
份时签署的合同，既然违反合同，那么其利益被吊销。 |

A recent column by Heather R. Higgins and Phil Kerpen really points the way
to how to get rid of this obnoxious program. Their ideas are similar to
ones I have ventured in this space.
Zero fund the fines for failure to buy insurance or offer it to one's
workers. No need to repeal it which would take 60 votes. Just zero out the
penalty and leave the "fine" on the books to rot away. Zero fund the fines
that penalize people for buyin... 阅读全帖 |

徐明旭
自由亚洲电台曾播放文章《“西藏农奴制”何从来？》说：“只有中共一家指称从前的
西藏是农奴制，而所有其他史料，尤其藏人的描述，都截然迥异。”
这话说得太武断了，达赖在1998年告诉茉莉女士：“虽然旧西藏社会是落后的，但是绝
不像中国共产党所说的最黑暗、最残酷、最野蛮，绝对不是这样。在旧西藏社会中生长
的人，如果你去看他们的脸，绝对是充满快乐的、笑眯眯的。中国的农奴制度、印度的
农奴制度和西藏的农奴制度不一样。这里面的不同，西藏人之所以充满快乐，主要是由
于宗教的因素。但是也有一些人，一些有钱有势的人，欺负自己的农奴，这样的现象是
有，不是没有，各个地方总能找得到。但是从总的说来，旧西藏的制度是比较好的，其
中有一些仁慈、以善待人的观念，与中国和印度及其他国家，特别是与欧洲中世纪的农
奴制相比是没有办法比较的，好多了，这主要是有一些爱和慈善的因素在内。当然个别
的危害人的现象不是没有，是有的。”（茉莉，《达赖喇嘛访谈录》，《北京之春》，
1998年5月号）
由此可见，说旧西藏是农奴制，正是从达赖而来。达赖恰恰是农奴制的总头子。

人民币贬值对许多亚洲国家的货币来说是一个新的风险，后者此前没有像相当大一部分
新兴市场货币那样下跌。
最近几周，韩元、台币和新加坡元等新兴市场货币走势疲弱，这标志着今年以来各种货
币对美元汇率疲软的格局翻开新篇章。
美元强势一直是2018年新兴市场货币疲软的主要推动因素，阿根廷、土耳其和南非等国
家由于经常账户赤字而特别脆弱。相比之下，那些经常账户盈余的新兴市场国家此前受
到了庇护。
百达(Pictet)经济学家帕特里克•兹韦费尔(Patrick Zweifel)表示，亚洲货币面
临压力，并非因为新兴市场的传染效应，而是因为“贸易紧张，对中国的敞口，以及人
民币贬值”。
对于投资者而言，货币疲弱局面的最新转变似乎表明，出现波及面更广的市场和经济压
力的风险正在上升。上周晚些时候，美国总统宣布准备对中国出口至美国的全部5000亿
美元产品征收关税，同时他还抨击强势美元以及美联储(Fed)维持收紧利率政策的意图。
