Sometimes even in dictatorships the outrage is so great that the people can force the government to a swift just response. The milk scandal of 2008 in China is a good example. A Chinese court has condemned two men to death and handed a life term to a former dairy boss for their roles in the country's contaminated milk scandal, which ignited the public anger and accusations of cover-ups by the government officials assigned to oversee food safety in China. You might remember that the charges against them were for producing and selling fake or substandard products that contained milk. Just in itself, the infant formula that was tainted with the chemical melamine was blamed in the deaths of at least six babies and the illnesses of nearly 300,000 others.
They got a few, and of course as in an y dictatorship, there are probably some guilty who had enough influence to escape justice, but still..unlike in the west where white collar are caught criminals stealing billions and delay trial for years with procedural delays that high priced lawyers use, the guilty are punished. White collar criminals here who have enough money and status seem to get hardly a slap on the wrist. In the US, our courts would really come down hard on such criminals ...Haha as in giving punishment... like cutting their fat bonuses and golden parachutes in half.
So one of the world's least responsive and free governments moves more swiftly to justice. But then there are many instances where the Chinese government has they killed or sent innocent people to prison to cover up for government officials wrongs. Surely their way is not a good one when taken in totality. Still... can you imagine if the western democracies had the death penalty for such crimes? I think a whole lot of these financial wizards would change their cheating tactics fast.
Let's see who could we send to China from the U.S...uh...in the name of quick justice.? How about a few suggestions for the Chinese court's quick hands of justice?
* Angelina Jolie- Angelina has surely violated the "don't adopt more than you can care for rule. I have a suggestion for the Chinese court that doesn't include execution. Sentence Angelina to a most just punishment...no nannies to care for the brood. Angelina must care all by herself.
* George Bush- the list of crimes is too long and obvious to even document. Just shoot George and put him and our bad memories out of their misery.
* All Rap "artists"- I think those Chinese courts would probably send all of them to be "re educated' . oh wait...most of those illiterate thugs have yet to be educated a first time.
* Anyone who is French- Haha Just being French is proof of arrogance...
* Reality TV producers- They are most certainly guilty of killing the brains of their audience. I think the court might sentence them to produce opera and ballet specials. But then, who would watch?
* Celine Dion- Guilty of being too loudddddddddd when singing, and thus impairing a naturally beautiful voice. Celene needs to be sent to a nunnery for a month....one here there is a code of silence.
* ME- I admit it. I should be shot on sight for writing this foolishness.
