Sometimes societies find themselves in pernicious cycles in which the
perceived medicine seems worse than the known disease. The Roman satirist
Juvenal lamented the ill effects of free food and free entertainment for the
masses (“bread and circuses”) in part because he knew there was no remedy
for the pathology in sight — and thus only a slow decline toward fiscal
insolvency or riots were on the horizon. Any Roman emperor bold enough to

The Bible contains more than 300 verses on the poor, social justice, and God

头暴徒释放信号，称军方可能会介入以恢复秩序。外界普遍将此视作警告。
虽然没有几位观察人士相信埃及军方急切渴望重回政治聚光灯下，但自上周以来突然爆
发的骚乱对埃及疲软的经济构成了冲击，并导致埃及总统穆尔西(Mohammed Morsi)在三
个城市实施紧急状态法。这令埃及民众进一步感到不安。
埃及国防部长兼武装部队最高委员会主席塞西(Abdel Fattah El Sissi)在对军校学员
发表讲话时说，不同政治势力之间的冲突持续，以及他们就如何治理国家产生的分歧可
能导致政府崩溃，并威胁到我们的后代。埃及媒体广泛报道了塞西的讲话。
塞西的这番讲话正值埃及全国动乱持续之际。抗议者和警察在开罗的冲突导致美国大使
馆周二暂停服务。有数千人向动荡城市塞得港近来发生的暴力事件的受害者致哀，他们
高喊让穆尔西下台的口号。
塞西的讲话凸显了埃及人感到的越来越强烈的绝望。由于发生争执，穆尔西与其对手甚

四周的房产通常还挺抢收。死人用过的东西，只要还卫生，性能良好，后人继续用，或者捐赠给慈善机构，后者要么转赠，要么廉价卖掉来筹集善款（如THRIFT SHOP，SALVATION ARMY
STORE之类）。
类似的，一件婚纱几代人用，不但不难为情，而且是一个骄傲的家庭传统。小孩的二手
衣服买卖也非常普遍，大家并不以为有什么问题。
我觉得这主要因为两国的信仰不同。中国人表面不怕死其实更忌讳死，更怕鬼，而美国人也怕死但并不忌讳,看得好象更开。
报纸经常有广告以免费吃喝吸引老年人参观殡葬馆，希望招揽老人的生意。这在中国还

相对来说，美国人不相信鬼，更不相信死人还会回来折腾你。吸血鬼是HOLLYWOOD的产
