危险的永远不是人的思维方式，因为人性几千年来一直延续下去，甚至超越了文明的生命。危险的是少数人本着他们自己的人性，利用谎言欺骗了绝大多数人，从而享受着不平等不公正给他们带来的好处。思考一下为什么几十年前的美国和日本的记者、老百姓中居然会有人向往毛泽东时代的中国，甚至包括文革时期的中国。想想我们孩时的1980年代可曾有那么多女孩子梦想着做郭海藻？虽然那时也是有不平等的——这个世界上除了原始社会目前为止还没有出现过真正的平等社会——但至少绝大多数老百姓之间是平等的。我和我的同班同学不会因为家庭经济的差异出现相处的问题，对么？在思绪飘回1980年代的中国的同时，让我们一起聆听The Monkees的Shades of Gray
