A quotation from Molly Ivins

There is a batty degree of triumphalism loose in this country right now. We are brushing off world opinion as though it mattered not a whit what other people think of us.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]

安かれ悪かれ 不管是好是坏|ポイズン雷花

品質が悪くとも、安かれば良い。 この心理は悪でしか無い。 本当今の世の中は品質の悪い製品やサービスで満ち溢れてる。 自己利益だけを考える。自己満足で済ませる。 何て腐ってる世界と呆れる程この精神が蔓延しており、当たり前と思われてる模様。 悪い物、いい加減な物しか無いから良い物を選ぶ権利を阻害され、行使できなく成る今の世の中は実に理不尽。 傲慢、強欲、愚かさ、我儘ばかりが目立つ。 こうした現実に怒りしか無い。 即使质量不好,如果能便宜点就更好了。 这种心态无非是邪恶的。 确实,当今世界充满了质量低劣的产品和服务。 只考虑自身利益。对自己感到满意。 多么腐朽的世界,这种心态如此普遍,令人
