写再多的歪诗骂‘土毛’,也不过是骂街的水平。另外什么校长的也就别忽悠了。

“And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. All power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

出自Lord Acton的信,谈他对Papal infallibility的看法,他本人是一个Catholic. 并不是指unquestioning power,而是指Papal infallibility。用来说文革真真是再贴切不过,毛当时就是精神领袖,他的话就是教条。短江再多的歪诗,也没有一个点到这个深度,反而象骂街。


结合他对民主的观察,反思一下大选也好。
"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections.”
