Its really really eerie to hear people hold up singapore as a model of what a good government is, seriously eerie. Their laws are draconian. Most Americans couldn’t stand living in that place. Sure its clean, because they cain you if you aren’t. Sure its peaceful, there are ghurkas there to knock sense into people if they get out of line. Sure there is housing, its all govt built (talk about govt meddling in your personal life). Oh there is even a govt agency to help ugly people find spouses. Lovely place, simply stunning.
I hate being a flag waving American, that kind of jingoism really rankles me. On the other hand this place offers alot of freedom while still providing a structure most people can live within. Caining wouldn’t be a bad idea though…
