Maybe it’s no coincidence that Groucho Marx was an American citizen. But surely the way a society cares for its sick and needy and elderly is sufficiently important to deserve serious and thoughtful argument based on what we really can see with our own eyes rather than on uninformed partisan prejudice.
如今在美国国内，理性似乎正举步维艰。也许只有这样一个国度才能孕育出格鲁乔这种能深入思考教条主义的奇人。但能够肯定的是，一个社会如何关照老弱病残等弱势群体的问题非常有必要得到人们严肃而周全的讨论，而这些讨论的依据必须是人们的亲眼所见，而不是那些愚昧无知的党派成见。
