今天不談吃 | 全民原地跑步!

小島照例沒事忙,好像狗兒追著自己尾巴團團轉、然後累得原地趴倒。

場選戰?

2007~2008 咱們大家要忙選舉(哪一年不忙選舉?),這會兒可有三場呢(三場?立委總統外加一場「活人 vs. 死人」):

總統選戰早已偷跑、吵吵鬧鬧,把史上最「割喉」的立委選戰掩蓋無聲;
還有一場最激烈的怪選戰則要一直鬧到不知何時。怪選戰者也,竟是咱們現任總統與先總統老蔣一場無休止纏鬥、好不熱鬧。

既然是「先」總統,怎麼還在拼?沒辦法,不知是否今人不值一爭?還是今事根本拿不上檯面?現任總統與執政黨老愛拉著古人、古事夾纏不清。於是,大家一定得日日月月年年聽誦經般 Chant「二二八、二二八...」「蔣介石、蔣介石...」一番,然後全體一齊活在過去、定格在六十年前。

倍速時代之異數?

世界在以十倍速迅速變遷、發展、向前走,西太平洋一小島還活在過去、日漸閉鎖邊緣化,卻又沒有「桃花源記」中恬適心境、也說不上什麼「香格里拉」樂土,只是單純的原地打轉。

作家 Lewis Caroll 名作「鏡中奇緣」(Through The Looking Glass)中,(曾漫遊奇境的)愛麗絲與皇后拔腿狂奔,跑了半天、累個半死,發現還停留在原地:

愛麗絲邊喘邊問皇后:
怎麼回事?在我國,如果向前跑、一定會到某個地方啊!
皇后回答:
慢國!這裡,妳得全力奔跑、才能停留在原地,想到哪兒?就要加倍快跑!
†††
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, HERE, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least TWICE as FAST as that!"
(From Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass")

台灣是勉強能夠停留在原地?還是衰退中而渾不自知?時間會告訴我們以及後人,如果後人皆成輸出台勞(非商)、他們自會批判。現在,讓我們回到這幾年不斷重複、政客名嘴們最在行的事 -- 例如繼續吵要不要拆什麼牌匾就好。

今天累得趴在地上的狗兒,明天依然會追著自己的尾巴團團轉

I will remind myself to pick up this book when I visit during CNY. I should've picked it up a long while back when I read about it here. Those NY Times articles the blogger included are very telling.

it is a farce that former DPP "turncoats" such as 蘇盈貴 and 李永萍 have become sort of born-again virgins in their efforts to protect what/who they used to attack.

the massacre in Nanking happened over 60 years ago. should it still be an issue???

the fact is a good majority of Taiwanese were oppressed for decades by a vicious dictator and his supporters (apologize for my american education of CKS and the old KMT). why would/should a small minority oppose to the eradication of memorials dedicated to this fascist?

If this "new" KMT wants to win the presidential election, it must show it's for the greater good of the people rather than being a remnant of a fascist regime! Hope Ma stops making extreme comments matching CSB's.

oh, and contrary to what Demos Chiang said, here's a historical quote from a prominent American... "She (Soong Mei-ling) can talk beautifully about democracy. But she does not know how to live democracy". Irony coming from a lifelong CKS/KMT supporter.

I hope KMT wakes up before 3/22/08!

Good points, T.

I usually do not reply to comments on my Non-F&B articles, but all are welcome to express their views though.

However, I'd like to recommend a good book on the "228 Incident" --  戴國煇教授所著之愛憎二‧二八

拆了之後又如何?
經濟狀況還不是一樣欲振乏力?

難不成拆了之後台股立即暴漲衝上萬點
果真如此神效
那我一定第一個舉手贊成!
