强调一下，这里的美国人包括美籍华人，甚至包括想长期生活在美的华人，如果要你选，你到底该选谁呢？ 目前，两个候选人最大的不同政治观点就是继续战争（麦凯恩）还是立即和平（奥巴马）。谈别的，都TM的扯淡！ 战争就意味着消耗。正如我以前举的例子，一发炮弹就足够一普通人家吃一年的。瞬时功夫，一家人的口粮顿时化为灰烬。911之后，美国经济不振，生活质量下降，罪魁祸首很大程度上就是战争！ 在一个相对短的时段，我们假定，单位时间人类创造出财富的量是个常数。那么，突然间制造大量极其贵重的杀人武器，突然间又让其象放烟花一样消失，等价于单位时间人类创造出的财富的突然间的大量减少。大量人力物力不用于生产，而是用于破坏，那么，经济怎么会振，生活怎么会质量提高呢？这甚至比中国的目前贪污腐败还糟！贪污腐败只能让财富转移，而不会让财富消失！这就解释了为什么中国目前这么多贪官，经济却仍然快速增长，而美国呢，就不说了。当然，从所谓“爱国角度”说，贪污腐败官僚的偷渡，另当别论。关于中国经济，不是此文要谈的。 这时，有人会说了，美国用的炸弹都是在仓库里存了多年的，没用的，所以拿出来放放，就能刺激经济。美国政客们不傻，我们在美华人不用操心。很遗憾，我也很想真的是这样，可是终究这是真的吗？库存的炸弹放了是不是就不再造了呢？911发生在2001年9月11日，到现在都快7年了，怎么没见到经济被刺激起来呢？很失望，是不是？我想问一问你，一个人一辈子有几个7年？等到你活到第十个7年上才觉到有被刺激起来的高潮？注意了，这里的高潮是指经济高潮，别乱想啊！如果你希望这样，你就选麦凯恩吧！ 那么，美国人为什么会支持弱智的布什打仗呢？从心理学角度说，那就是面子。有时，面子比钱还重要。现在都明白了，叫“死要面子活受罪”，活该啊！BTW, 要面子，其潜意识便是自卑。有人说，打仗是为了油，我就觉得怪了呢，怎么越打仗，油价越高了呢？不要跟我说，10年以后还会降下来！小布什他爹老布什是个当兵的，1990年打伊拉克还没过瘾，就被克林顿整下了台，意犹未尽，觉得气没消平，不行，有机会一定再教训伊拉克这帮狗日的。哎，真是老天有眼啊，由于克里这个傻逼的无能，儿子小布什又荣登宝座。你说，儿子怎么会不替老子出这口气？BTW，我就搞不明白，民主党怎么当时会让克里这个傻逼当候选人了呢？那么，麦凯恩呢？也是个当兵的。当兵的，一不打仗了，手就痒痒。注意了，我可不是歧视当兵的啊，有时这种秉性也是很有用的！ 鉴于此，如果你是个不是象猪一样笨的美国人，你应该知道应该选谁了吧？然而，凡事都有两方面。如果你是个心向中国的人，即所谓“身在曹营心在汉”的人，那就选麦凯恩吧，这是因为麦凯恩这样的人当了美国总统必然危害美国人的利益，那谁赚便宜啊？这还用问吗？当然是其目前的最大对手了。注意，我这里用了“必然”一词。 最后，推荐一下一美国人最近写的文章吧。前半段是“临渊慕鱼”，后半段是想“退而结网”。注意，主要看后半段。 Friedman: Chinese Games showed America that nation-building starts at home Thomas Friedman The New York Times Article Last Updated: 08/27/2008 06:59:51 PM MDT After attending the spectacular closing ceremony at the Beijing Olympics and feeling the vibrations from hundreds of Chinese drummers pulsating in my chest, I was tempted to conclude two things: ''Holy mackerel, the energy coming out of this country is unrivaled.'' And, two: ''We are so cooked. Start teaching your kids Mandarin.'' However, I've learned over the years not to over-interpret any two-week event. Olympics don't change history. They are mere snapshots - a country posing in its Sunday best for all the world too see. But, as snapshots go, the one China presented through the Olympics was enormously powerful - and it's one that Americans need to reflect upon this election season. China did not build the magnificent $43 billion infrastructure for these games, or put on the unparalleled opening and closing ceremonies, simply by the dumb luck of discovering oil. No, it was the culmination of seven years of national investment, planning, concentrated state power, national mobilization and hard work. Seven years . . . Seven years . . . Oh, that's right. China was awarded these Olympic Games on July 13, 2001 - just two months before 9/11. As I sat in my seat at the Bird's Nest, watching thousands of Chinese dancers, drummers, singers and acrobats on stilts perform their magic at the closing ceremony, I couldn't help but reflect on how China and America have spent the last seven years: Advertisement China has been preparing for the Olympics; we've been preparing for al-Qaida. They've been building better stadiums, subways, airports, roads and parks. And we've been building better metal detectors, armored Humvees and pilotless drones. The difference is starting to show. Just compare arriving at La Guardia's dumpy terminal in New York City and driving through the crumbling infrastructure into Manhattan with arriving at Shanghai's sleek airport and taking the 220-mph magnetic levitation train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion instead of steel wheels and tracks, to get to town in a blink. Then ask yourself: Who is living in the Third World country? Yes, if you drive an hour out of Beijing, you meet the vast dirt-poor third world of China. But here's what's new: The rich parts of China, the modern parts of Beijing or Shanghai or Dalian, are now more state of the art than rich America. The buildings are architecturally more interesting, the wireless networks more sophisticated, the roads and trains more efficient and nicer. And, I repeat, they did not get all this by discovering oil. They got it by digging inside themselves. I realize the differences: We were attacked on 9/11; they were not. We have real enemies; theirs are small and mostly domestic. We had to respond to 9/11 at least by eliminating the al-Qaida base in Afghanistan and investing in tighter homeland security. They could avoid foreign entanglements. Trying to build democracy in Iraq, though, which I supported, was a war of choice and is unlikely to ever produce anything equal to its huge price tag. But the first rule of holes is that when you're in one, stop digging. When you see how much modern infrastructure has been built in China since 2001, under the banner of the Olympics, and you see how much infrastructure has been postponed in America since 2001, under the banner of the war on terrorism, it's clear that the next seven years need to be devoted to nation-building in America. We need to finish our business in Iraq and Afghanistan as quickly as possible, which is why it is a travesty that the Iraqi parliament has gone on vacation while 130,000 U.S. troops are standing guard. We can no longer afford to postpone our nation-building while Iraqis squabble over whether to do theirs. A lot of people are now advising Barack Obama to get dirty with John McCain. Sure, fight fire with fire. That's necessary, but it is not sufficient. Obama got this far because many voters projected onto him that he could be the leader of an American renewal. They know we need nation-building at home now - not in Iraq, not in Afghanistan, not in Georgia, but in America. Obama cannot lose that theme. He cannot let Republicans make this election about who is tough enough to stand up to Russia or bin Laden. It has to be about who is strong enough, focused enough, creative enough and unifying enough to get Americans to rebuild America. The next president can have all the foreign affairs experience in the world, but it will be useless, utterly useless, if we, as a country, are weak. Obama is more right than he knows when he proclaims that this is ''our'' moment, this is ''our'' time. But it is our time to get back to work on the only home we have, our time for nation-building in America. I never want to tell my girls - and I'm sure Obama feels the same about his - that they have to go to China to see the future. Just compare arriving at La Guardia's dumpy terminal in New York City and driving through the crumbling infrastructure into Manhattan with arriving at Shanghai's sleek airport and taking the 220-mph magnetic levitation train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion instead of steel wheels and tracks, to get to town in a blink. Then ask yourself: Who is living in the Third World country?
