Just imagine. If local people actually had the power to vote for the people they wanted in their local governments, crap like this tends to happen less.

NO all-powerful central government can competently micro-manage every single Province, County and town. In the end, there’s nothing like good old representational democracy (not the faux version they have now).

Imagine that. A Communist party (Democrat party) controlling what the media says/prints. How dare China copy America!

A notice was sent by government to media outlets across the country late last week, following a spate of reports about the collapses that killed thousands of students.

The Financial Times conveniently left this out of the story.

“We blame the local government for this,” one mother said. “The central government doesn’t know because local media haven’t reported what happened.”

Contrast this to here. Katrina, Bush's fault.
