The federal government says it 'strongly condemns' the execution of multiple Canadians in China earlier this year over what Beijing says were 'drug-related crimes.'
I knew a guy who got tweens hooked on crack, for fun…
He’s dead, now, but sometimes one has to wonder if there shouldn’t be more-immediate, harsher, enforcement, for some crimes…
( I’m considering the difference between clean-room principles, vs actual-on-the-ground situations, involving real fucked-up-human-reality: sometimes harsh correction seems to be required.
I know that now there are people who are not allowed to leave prison because they’re too-much threat to the population, in some places…
also, it depends on one’s culture, doesn’t it?
In the West, maybe some drugs are culturally OK, & others are not…
& in other cultures, the configuration is different…
We seriously hold that Western moral-assumptions are universal, still?
Has our “White ego” or “British Empire ego”, or whatever it ought be called, still so much “centrality” that it cannot understand self-determination of other-cultures?
I’m only using the British Empire example because it was the empire before the US Empire, btw.
I hold that executing people for drug-trafficking is daft … but then I read about the gang-ruled portions of Mexico … and wonder … how can trafficking be dis-entangled from all the other-crimes involved in organized-crime?? )
in all cases?
