    抄书


    最近在看《民主的细节》。作者刘瑜在美国念博士,在剑桥大学教书,给《南方周末》写专栏。她的文字朴实,表达准确;她不卖弄术语、不炫耀博学。- 我很喜欢。
     
    最近在看《波士顿法律》,一部美剧。主人公律师Alan的结案陈词非常精彩。更重要的是,电视剧里一个个小故事恰恰说明了美国民主的实质,就像刘瑜在《民主的细节》中写到的“一个真正牢固的民主制度,需要的不仅仅是‘当我的权益受到侵害的时候,我要坚决捍卫自己的权益’,而是‘当我的权益受到侵害,你要坚决捍卫我的权益;当你的权益受到侵害,我要坚决捍卫你的权益’的责任共同体意识。”- 我很喜欢。
     
    我常常想起《杀死一只知更鸟》里阿蒂克斯在他的结案陈词里讲过的一段话,大意是:美国民主的缔造者们说人人生而平等;而实际上我们都知道这个世界原本就不公平,人不可能平等。有的孩子就是比别的孩子聪明,有的男人就是比别的男人能赚到更多的钱,有的女人就是比别的女人做的饭菜好吃。只有在法律面前,人人才是真正平等的。法律才是美国式民主与平等的真正内涵。
     
    当然,现在我们还是做不到的。但是,怀揣梦想总是一件好事。
     
    PS. 吃早饭时,谈起好友的离婚事。我的原则是:夫妻一场,好聚好散。就算你不仁,我也不能不义。总不能因为对方是流氓,自己也流氓吧?总不能因为对方是猪,自己也是猪吧?- 一个人,不管多少,还是要有点格调的。

    同意你的观点,民主与平等只是相对而言,所以才会需要维护和争取。
