//The advice went unheeded. The movement now enters a period of uncertainty. Arrests are likely. Divisions are growing among protesters. Without a recognized set of leaders, the demonstrations lack a sense of focus.//

爭取民主自由的精神就是要反對唯我獨專的排斥（就旺角「沒有大會」下掃場的看法）---陳德章

這幾天在旺角佔領區發生了一些群眾內部不愉快事件，參與佔領者就在佔領區可以進行什麼活動發生了激烈的爭論，後來更發展成透過「左膠」的言論去打壓排斥一些政見不同的市民，結果演變成唯我獨專的掃場、更有參與者被圍堵恐嚇。我們不能妄下判斷這幫人是何方神聖，目的為何，但從他們的行為可見，他們顯然不明白甚麼是自由的精神，效果已造成參與者嚴重內耗分裂、互不信任，繼而削弱爭取民主及反對專制的力量。

在一場爭取民主自由的運動中，大家因信念而走在一起，卻不幸出現一幫人口講爭取民主自由，卻持著唯我獨專排拒他人的態度，而這幫人的組織性和系統性實在不能令人相信這是沒有系統和沒有人在幕後煽動的。筆者作為社民連一員和相信左翼思想的人，現階段作任何判斷這幫人來歷的說法，都會予人有欠持平的感覺。

自由的精神（The Spirit of Liberty）

因此，我只能透過與這幫人分享一下我在大學時讀到一名美國著名法官Learned Hand對自由的精神的一些看法（基於筆者若引用左翼人士的看法，必定會引來這幫人的排斥，因此挑選了這位非左翼人士的著名法官），希望能令這種違反自由精神的行為得以緩和。

在1944年的一個集會中（I Am an American Day），Learned Hand在演說中發表了對自由精神（The Spirit of Liberty） 的看法**，大意是這樣的：「自由的精神是反對唯我獨尊的；是去理解別人的精神和想法；是不帶任何偏見去一起考慮自己和別人的利益。」抱著這份精神，在「沒有大會」的旺角佔領地，無論往後任何佔領者在佔領地要進行什麼活動，不認同並不要緊，但務必抱著這份自由的精神，讓這場爭取民主自由的運動「名正言順」地爭取民主自由。

筆者深深希望這幫人能真正明白到自由的精神，停止所有唯我獨尊的行為，讓這場運動能真正體現民主自由的精神。至於參與這場運動的群眾們，如再遇上以上掃場圍堵的行為，請堅守這份自由的精神，要求這幫人拿出去理解別人想法的精神，不要再為這場本已沒有分裂本錢的民主運動添煩添亂。

**What then is the spirit of liberty?

I cannot define it; I can only tell you my own faith. The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interest alongside its own without bias; the spirit of liberty remembers that not even a sparrow falls to earth unheeded; the spirit of liberty is the spirit of him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned, but has never quite forgotten - that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered side-by-side with the greatest.

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER 福島第一原子力発電所事故

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was caused by the massive tsunami triggered by the Tohoku Earthquake on March 11th, 2011. This was a Level 7 nuclear event, comparable only to Chernobyl.

1. Unheeded Warning

Before the disaster even happened, there were industry experts who warned of mega tsunami-generating earthquakes hitting the area every 800 to 1100 years, with the next one being overdue. But those in charge dismissed such warnings.

2. No Good Robots

During the crisis at Fukushima, high radiation levels at the plant made it desperately hard for human workers to do what they needed to do.

Back in 2001, the Japanese had actually developed extremely capable robots that were deemed technical successes, but then a government task force concluded that a Chernobyl-scale disaster was never going to happen in Japan .

The program was shut down and the robots were dismantled or donated.

3. Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant

The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant was the closest power plant to the earthquake epicentre, yet it successfully withstood the barrage.

While the Fukushima Plant had sea walls up to 5.7 meters, Onagawa had it up to 14 meters.

4. Wrongful Evacuation

Due to miscommunication between the evacuation authorities and the experts who were analysing the fallout, many residents were evacuated from pretty safe areas right INTO the radioactive plume.

5. Evacuation Deaths

More people were killed by the evacuation process in Fukushima
than by the actual earthquake and tsunami, the disaster itself.

People died of fatigue, exhaustion, illness, suicides - losing their homes, not knowing where they would end up, cramped evacuation centres; the whole ordeal was taxing.

6. Geiger-Counter Hobby

After the Fukushima disaster, random radiation hot spots were discovered in unexpected locations.

Radiation levels as high as those in the no-go zone were detected as far as some Tokyo suburbs. This prompted many Japanese residents to take up a new hobby - walking with Geiger-counters through their city or village in search for random radiation levels to report.

7. Animal Guardian

55 year old Naoto Matsumura is the only man brave enough to live in Fukushima’s no-go zone. After the initial evacuation, he returned back
to take care of the animals that were left behind. Not just his animals, but everyone’s.

8. Mutations

There were a few small scale Fukushima discoveries.

9. Human Radiation Effects

No one died from radiation exposure in Fukushima.

And contrary to a well-publicised, yet poorly-executed, study
that made the rounds in 2015, thyroid cancer rates in Fukushima children were actually lower than the national average.

10. Disobedient Hero

Masao Yoshida was the manager of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant and on March 15th 2011, he lead a brave group, now dubbed ‘The Fukushima 50’ into the radioactive trenches.

With cooling systems crippled and having run out of fresh water, Yoshida decided they would pump seawater straight from the ocean into the damaged reactors.

Then corporate headquarters (TEPCO) ordered him to stop the seawater injection. They didn’t want the corrosive seawater to permanently damage their reactors.

Feeling his superiors were inept for risking a colossal radioactive fallout, Yoshida disobeyed the direct order and continued with the seawater injection.

Many experts now agree that his actions on that day
arguably prevented a much greater catastrophe.
