Execution Solution
China, always trying to one up Japan, will not just let oppressive cultural norms kill their corrupt, incompetent government officials. They’ll just do the killing themselves. From the NYTimes.
The former director of China’s top food and drug safety agency was sentenced to death on Tuesday after pleading guilty to corruption and accepting bribes, the state-controlled news media said.
Again, one can only imagine what it would be like if the US did anything like this. We’d probably have to bring back the guillitione.
The sharpened blade needs sharpening fairly often, and you need a decent crowd to make the head cutting worth the effort. Firing Squads are best for large groups, as both the Soviets and the Nazis proved. Automatic weapons are good too. Line them up at the mass grave, and shoot away. Then the bulldozer to fill one trench and make another.
One good thing about the Chinese practice: it does focus one’s attention to doing your job.
