闯王当选的 euphoria 还没过去一天,就不停地看到对 liberal 的声讨,不但是对 liberal 的政府或者政客们的批判,对年轻人、对学校、对孩子们受的 liberal 思潮的影响捶胸顿足,似乎国将不国,民将不民。至于吗?批了半天,明白什么是 liberal 吗?
说句不夸张的话,没有 liberal 就没有现代社会,没有 liberal 就没有现代科技,没有 liberal 思想就没有今天闯王的胜利。"No dream is too big", 没有自由的思想,怎么会有人克服困难去探寻未知的世界?怎么会有人冲破各个时代的各种保守势力的限制,追求新的东西?现代科技起源于什么?不就是那些不满足于循规蹈矩贵族子弟衣食不愁的生活,愿意追求挖掘平常人看来 crazy 的东西吗?没有 liberal, 我们汉人还是奉着满人做主-子;没有 liberal, 欧洲人还在中世纪宗教裁判所的高压下;没有 liberal, 哪来的美国新大陆?没有 liberal 的思想, Gates 怎么会 quit 哈佛?
年轻人,你不让他自由思想,不让他年少轻狂一把,难道让他也天天盯着工资税,白菜房的房产税?小孩子,你不教他不要局限于世俗,难道教他怎样跟领导说话,怎样看大人脸色的“情商”?
是的,厕所也好,BLM也好,极左的激进确实让人反感,但是难道这就是打倒消灭一切 liberal 的理由?我们老中就这么热爱统一思想?为什么就不能让别人不一样呢?哪怕在我们看来 crazy 的。
年轻人受刺激了,这么多人上街一个 peaceful 的游行,至于紧张成那样吗?至于咬牙切齿痛骂 loser 吗?做一个 gracious winner 比作 gracious loser 容易多了,但是如果得到想要的中年人,在口头上都一定要占足便宜的 “winner, 无法做到半点 gracious, 有什么资格要求年轻人如何呢。
美国的活力来源于多元和自由,如果美国只有保守派了,也就不会有藤校,不会有硅谷,也不会有强大的美国。
年轻时没有放开追求过爱情的,中年后反而容易出轨,无他,就是人的内心都有 liberal 的种子。
大晚上的,找个歌来听听。

I said it clearly in the original post, and subsequent reply to all, that I wasn't referring to Dems in US. Then, I also clearly posted the definition of "liberal" I referred to, in this very post.
You just came to rant about how YOU use "liberal" in political world. I thought you were replying to MY POST.
You have got to be kidding me, man. Please do not embarrass yourself with your 咣当咣当半瓶子水. You saw the word "liberal" you think it has got to do with liberty. You are either completely ignorant or so smug thinking everyone else is so stupid. This narcotic drug is not that medicinal drug, even those they are both called drugs. The word "liberal" we now use in politics is completely different from the original meaning of "liberal". The latter is usually called "libertarian".
Please go read some history of political philosophy before you open your mouth again, dude!

但是你说的liberal都是现代的liberal,只不过是认为自己的理念乃政治正确,然后以政治不正确为理由压制别人的理念。
最可怕的不是恶人,而是好心办坏事,世界燃烧还不认为是自己的错误。
Is this your liberal?
政治正确有它存在的理由和基础。它有缺陷,但是它反面真的是大家向往的吗?历史上的大悲剧都是源于政治不正确啊!

(ZT) 总而言之,就是这些自称liberal的人要限制别人的自由?。
If a CONSERVATIVE doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a LIBERAL doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a CONSERVATIVE is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a LIBERAL is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a CONSERVATIVE is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A LIBERAL wonders who is going to take care of him..
If a CONSERVATIVE doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. A LIBERAL demand that those they don't like be shut down.
If a CONSERVATIVE is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A LIBERAL non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.
If a CONSERVATIVE decides he needs health care, so he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A LIBERAL demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a CONSERVATIVE reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A LIBERAL will delete it because he feels I am a "hater."
不知您听过CONSERVATIVE 的talk show 没有。 从那之后再也不是他们的粉丝了
W总啊,写文章要先把定义定好,什么是Liberal呀?你这里概念转换的跟光速似的,咋都是天朝孔家店的那帮人的笔法呀。

选Trump的美国华裔高学历者,其实谁心里会没有liberal的情感。以民主党为首的所谓liberal 派系烂用社会和民心中的 liberal 价值和宽容,把自私偏执的“理想”引向极端,到了破坏国家长期发展和社会根基的地步。川粉为了国家的长治久安,站出来发声的。没人把liberal打死。
教育小孩为善是对的,单个的教育如果普及,必然产生群体效应,从中产生一些社会原则,这些原则在实践中可能走偏,可能流弊,攻击流弊是对的,攻击原则本身不对.把单个和群体分开来辨别,认为单个的属性到群体里会产生变异,这需要大量,持续的观察.不能一口断定.
其实我觉得根本的考验在于:当二种本能互相冲突的时候,你选择那边?中国知识分子的魔障就在这里,我也不例外,但是我不装,我只是在犹豫.看看圣人的选择吧:
子貢問政。子曰:「足食。足兵。民信之矣。」子貢曰:「必不得已而去,於斯三者何先?」曰:「去兵。」子貢曰:「必不得已而去,於斯二者何先?」曰:「去食。自古皆有死,民無信不立。」
每读此章,都有些感动,孔子是把什么都想透了的人。
就这样吧,相忘于江湖吧,我在文学城的日子也屈指可数了。
教育小孩多元化,帮助人,有善心是对的,如果是就个体来讲。
如果就群体来讲就大错特错了。
首先要搞清楚,善是一种超标的要求,而不是一种达标的要求。善是对他人的帮助和接纳,是值得提倡的高尚行为。但是不善也不会对他人造成伤害,只不过是没有帮助而已。不善也就是不恶,不助也不损,不提倡也不反对。是为本分。所谓不帮是本分,帮是情分,如此而已。
如果个体自我决定,愿意损己利人,大善。反过来说,之所以我们称之为善,加以赞扬,加以鼓励,就是因为这是小概率异常事件。如果是常事,还有什么必要说呢?
如果把小概率事件,自发自愿事件,上升到必须的群体行为,那么就大错特错了。因为你可以也有权决定自己行善,损己利人。但是如果你以道德为挟持,要求旁人去行善,损己利人,比如甲要求乙去损己利丙,那么甲是大恶。因为,首先甲虽然达到了帮助病的目的,但不是他自己出力的,等于甲没有真正帮助丙,反而得了一个帮助丙的名头,是为沽名钓誉,欺世盗名。同时,甲又以道德为绑架,对乙造成了乙并不自愿的伤害,此为巧取豪夺,敲诈勒索。
如果觉得分配不公,就应该在首先在一次分配上找问题,二次分配往往是扬汤止沸。更重要的是,分配不公是个斗争谈判的市场机制问题,和善与不善没多什么关系。每个人,每个集团都应该为自己的利益斗争,无可厚非。只是我们尽量要把这种斗争限制在文明的斗争体系和渠道内,争取共赢,避免两败。但是,这还是博弈互动,跟道德是没有直接关系的。但是,用宗教道德等为武器为烟雾来达到自己的利益目的,却是非常常见的,千万年不断的手段。对年轻人的教育,就是要既在斗争中看透迷雾直至本质,又要能在利益中保持本心,不执着于眼前。纯童话般的教育其实是害孩子。中国的道德高调教育从儒家到共产主义,不比民主党高深万倍,但是这样的孩子一担接触现实,首先是极其震惊失望,然后就反而往往自暴自弃,走向另外一个极端。对道德反而完全不相信,为达目的没有底线。希拉里就是一个很好的例子。她没当选,其实是最好的道德教育案例。
到了北美,在自由的环境里生活,思考,感悟,能觉悟到人之为人,不光是为己,不光是生存,还有为人,还有灵魂的升华,这些人只是华人中的少数,极少数.也不一定是那些上教会的,人不自觉,靠外力是没有用的.这些人有福了. 对剩下的我只有怜悯,人像蚂蚁一样的活着,凭本能活着,去争取任何一个自认为能够活得更好的机会,比如船普.可怜.
希拉里(Hillary)们打着自由的标牌,为自己谋取最大利益。希拉里是精致至极的利己主义。
