有这样两种世界，那是怎样的不同？
请听:
【绝对的权力需要绝对的“拥护”作底气；绝对的统摄需要绝对的“一致”作护身。一个时代的灾难，正是在惊人一致的“坚决拥护”下受孕的；一个最坏的决议，正是在不加思索的“全体通过”中分娩的。】
【他不要让人们记住他曾经是个总统，让他感到欣慰和感到人生并非虚度的是他从事过心灵的创造，是两个历史文件的作者和一个学校的创办者。他是美国的第三任总统——托马斯·杰弗逊，他亲自为自己撰写的墓志铭是这样的：“这里埋葬着托马斯·杰弗逊，他是独立宣言的作者，弗吉尼亚州宗教信仰自由法案的作者，弗吉尼亚州立大学之父。”这句镌刻在石壁上的话一点儿都没有提到自己任过美国总统，但却在每一个看到和读到的人心中闪着光，光华超越了每一个擅长吹嘘自己成就的人。杰弗逊是人类基本权利——生存权利与自由权利的发现者与护卫者，在他一息尚存的时候，想到的还是这些天赋的权利。】

What is the major cause of global warming if so? Howard Bloom’s article sets the logic.
This is a great article. Climate change due to human cause is just a story but not a science. I hope those radical minds who took office with the given power to understand more science before deciding to hijack us to a costly direction with wrong and very wrong reason. The COP15 meeting in Copenhagen should be just dismissed.
"What we are experiencing is not a crisis of capitalism. It is a crisis of finance, of democracy, of globalization and ultimately of
ethics." - Fraeed Zakaria (2009)
At this crisis of economy, government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem!
If you think it is Americans who are to blame as having borrowed too much more than they could afford, then think twice!
Take a look at the top external debt (in US dollars) per capita data by countries, these data apparently show that many European countries are in ridiculously deeper debt.
Among these 18 countries, Monaco and Ireland are more than 10 times of their GDP could produce. Only three non-European countries are on the list, those are Qatar, Australia and the USA.
People in rich country do have more purchasing power to leverage their debt. For such fair comparison, I took their high GDP per capita to normalize their high debt. So here is the list of Debt per capita as percentage of GDP per capita (the debt-to-GDP ratio).
Again, after the normalization, these Europeans are still on the top of the list. Taking Monaco as example, people in Monaco share the average debt as high as over 18 times as their GDP contribution. As I expected, two poor countries, Zimbabwe and Liberia, are also borrowing money around as twice what they could produce.
With such per-capita GDP normalization, it is equally fair to judge the debt of each country, no matter they are poor or rich. So I plot a scatter chart of all countries in the whole world to examine their normalized per-capita debt in relate to their GDP contribution. If every country borrows money at the same level as the same ratio to their GDP contribution, the fit line should be flat.
However, the figure turns out to be upper bend to many rich countries. It is obvious that many rich countries, especially those in Europe, are responsible for their deeper debt as over borrowing money externally.
In a huge contrast, Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China as well as India only show their small fraction of debt (under 30%) in comparison to their GDP.
The correlation coefficient of –0.54 shows such an inverse relation statistically.
