I have to admire how hte Chinese government punishes instead of trying to just take a ‘compassionate’ approach. I just wonder at what point are we going to stop giving a rat’s arse about these criminals. We should forcibly rehabilitate the addicts and also punish harshly the dealers and the smugglers the same way as the Chinese. We need to stop worrying about image and about self esteem and self image as well. The Chinese are tough and don’t care about image.
The Chinese still have bad memories of the Opium dens.
If you were consistent, you would be calling for some federal heads to LITERALLY roll.
Until that happens, the War on Some Drugs can be considered a continuing criminal enterprise, not that you care.
