美国历史太短, American are spoiled generation by generation. it is hard for them to have such a vision w/out reference. 他们挑三拣四, don't want to do labor work - 老墨的事; 苦行僧 - 老中老外的话 (看看所有高校及研究机构, PhD or postdoctor青一色啊!). 就是学府里边, 读business and engineering的人种就有黄黑发之分. 学府不是社会的未来? 今日的学生不就是今后生产力里的主力军? 政府削减开支, 就拿教育开刀. 其实, 不简单是老美,中国存在同样的隐患, 什么校中校, 一旦学府变成生意场... 还有什么全民炒股,全民钞房。 几个在上海的友人告诉我, 娶不起媳妇, 因为没房. 哦,原来得先娶房! 有的甚至是复旦大学MBA毕业,至少在工作中也担任要职,读了十几二十年书,依然清贫得连瓦都奢侈. 社会分工已毫无意义。难道, 不畸形?社会没变态? 是复古,倒退,还是世界末日?
don't u think something is wrong? Greek seem so laid back in the past. do they really deserve bailout? 岂有不劳而获的道理?!
I wonder how we can teach our kids if we are puzzled over it ourselves??? 教诲他们"好好儿学习",兢兢业业工作? 怎么感觉在挖坑?
