穿越美西北 19 – 那些总统们

 

DSC0054501_调整大小总统山不收门票,但是收停车费,每车$11元。交过费来到停车场上,底下一层满满的又是——摩托车。

DSC0054619_调整大小总统山大名叫做拉什莫尔山国家纪念碑(Mount Rushmore National Memorial),当然也归国家公园管理。

DSC0054820_调整大小上了台阶,总统们远远地出现了。

DSC0055221_调整大小见总统前还要穿过一个立柱长廊,立柱上插满了旗帜,是美国50个州、1个特区、3个领地和2个commonwealths的旗帜。这个commonwealths怎么讲?50个州好理解,特区就是首都华盛顿所在的哥伦比亚特区简称DC,3个领地是关岛、美属萨摩亚和美属维尔京群岛,2个Commonwealth是波多黎各和北马里亚纳群岛。

看着这些总统们,草根想起了一个说法:二百年前中国的GDP在世界上占一个很大的分量,而美国所占微不足道。二百年来中国诞生出无数英明领袖,而美国人只选出一群“弱智”总统。很多总统,不是上面这四位,还要拉出来被嘲笑一通。但是二百年过去后,美国成为世界第一,而中国却直到英明领袖不再管事儿之后,才开始有所好转,个中原因令人玩味。
