道德与投资

我看这种减少能源使用的绿色解决方法是误入歧途。经济发展的良机和社会的公正在一个正在增长的经济中实现起来要容易得多。而一个正在发展增长的经济实际上是需要丰富的能源的。

对某些人来说，酒是个最坏的东西。但当国家试图禁酒时，结果总是归于失败。我忍不住要附带补充一句：适度的饮酒者比完全禁酒者心脏病死亡率要低得多。

我现在还不想买什么酒类股。但一旦价位合适，我是会买一种的。

The Gambling Vice

[17] Anita Green, the director of social research at Pax World Fund, the third-largest social responsibility mutual fund, recently referred to gambling as a vice that inflicts crushing social costs on American society. Noting that seven of the largest 20 mutual funds in the U . S. hold one or more gambling stocks, she suggests that investors pick a fund that has sworn to avoid them--namely, her own.

[18] Gambling, which Green opposes so strongly, is to me a pleasurable activity. I go to the racetrack, watch the pageantry of the horses, jockeys and silks, and enjoy the spectacle more because I have a $ 2 or $ bet on the outcome. I enjoy spending a day or two in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. But I go only once every year or two, and set myself a limit of $ 50 or $ 100 a day. When thats gone, I walk around and see the sights.
