State Budgets Day of Reckoning (CBS News)

20101219 (60 minutes) State Budgets Day of Reckoning (CBS News)

Saturday, August 6, 2011

가끔씩 생각을 너무 많이 할 때나, 특히 글을 쓸때 (영어로)
몸까지 동원해서 생각을 하다보니 몸도 쑤시고 별로 안좋은 것 같다.
생각은 철저히 머리 끝에서만 미뤄지고 내 몸과는 별개로 빠르게 전개되도록 해야겠다. 별 것도 아닌데 몸으로도 생각하다보면 지치는 것 같기도 하고 생각이 빨리 전개되지도 않는듯.

....

말이 되는 얘긴지는 모르겠으나 저렇게 생각하는게 개인적으로는 실제로 효과가 있다...ㅎ

中 도시빈민 5천만명[사회과학원]

http://china.joins.com/portal/article.do?method=detail&total_id=5904634&

========
중국의 도시빈민이 5천만명에 달한다는 연구결과가 나왔다.

중국 사회과학원은 3일 '성시청서'(城市藍皮書)를 통해 도시지역 주민 가운데 빈곤층이 5천만명에 달한다고 밝혔다고 문회보(文匯報), 명보(明報) 등 홍콩신문들이 4일 보도했다.

성시청서는 2010년 '중국 통계연감'을 인용해 도시지역에 거주하는 중국인이 6억2천186만명에 달하며, 도시주민의 연간 평균소득이 1만7천175위안이라고 밝혔다.

성시청서는 도시주민 가운데 7.5∼8,5%가 연간 소득이 7천500∼8천500위안 수준의 빈곤층이며, 빈곤층의 인구는 약 5천만명에 달한다고 추정했다.

성시청서는 1990년대 후반 이후 도시화가 진전되면서 도시빈민의 수도 지속적으로 늘어나고 있다고 밝혔다.

성시청서는 농민공 시민화, 주택가격 급등, 대도시 교통난, 사회보장제도 미비, 도시빈민 등을 중국 도시가 안고 있는 문제점으로 꼽았다. (연합뉴스)
=============

중국 인구 약 절반이 도시에 사는데 (계산하면 대략 6억명?)
6억 중의 5천만이면...9%좀 안되는건데... 저 정도면 많긴 많구나.
역시 시골보다도 도시가 더 문제인건가.

Like a rolling stone

유학와서 가장 '충격'적으로 접했던 음악/뮤직비디오라면 바로 이것일 듯...
원래 있던 유투브 비디오는 없어졌는데 누군가가 고맙게도 새로 업로드 해줬다...

물론 밥 딜런은 가사를 알고 들어야 .....

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
