Hugo: 洛克的《人的自然權利》說與孟德斯鳩的《三權分立》說

在東亞大陸的某漁村,有漁民捕獲了兩條重達萬斤的大魚,一條名叫“洛克的人的自然權利說”(John Locke在《Two Treatises on Government》書中的觀點),另一條名叫“孟德斯鳩的三權分立說”(Montesquieu在《The Spirit of the Laws》書中的觀點);村子裡的人正在計畫用這兩條魚來煮清蒸全魚,但是他們卻為了不同的蒸魚配料爭吵了起來,並且發生了嚴重的群毆事件。

村長為了解決此問題,他特地跑到村頭去請教233歲的老鷹(1776年7月4日至今),老鷹正在家中朗讀《United States Declaration of Independence》,“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

村長粗魯地打斷了老鷹的朗讀聲,他急忙地對老鷹說,“你覺得蒸兩條魚加辣比較好,還是不加辣比較好?”;老鷹十分不解地對村長說,“這村子裡並沒有蒸這麼大的魚的托盤,你們應該先有大托盤,再考慮配料問題,不是嗎?”

村子外,螢火蟲氣憤地說,“主耶穌基督說,‘The first is, ……Jehovah our God is one Jehovah, and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength. The second is this, You must love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.’(Mark 12:30-31)與‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If YOU men had known me, YOU would have known my Father also; from this moment on YOU know him and have seen him.’(John 14:6-7),沒有‘Jehovah's commandments and Jesus' gospel’,你如何能有承載這二魚的大托盤呢?”
