Interesting. Pretty silly to kill a person over bribery. Hard labour
for life, and the Forfeiting of his possesions and estate would be a more
reasonable sentence.

I'm not sure how killing a person solves a problem or makes a good
deterrent. It obviously does not work in China or the USA.


In China, many things are done to create illusion. They kill people for
stealing a few gallons of gasoline. In Japan, as recently as the late
1800s, a nobleman could kill someone who "disturbed his harmony". It ain't
Kansas.


Indeed. It's still OK to kill a mentally ill person in the USA today too
apparently. I think, after studying various points of justice in history at
school an during my own time, it is easy to see some progrssive reasoning
with some countries, because they are willing to be open and discuss the
issue with its citizens. Afterall the government is there because the
citizens pay them to be there to serve them, to serve the will of the
people.

I don't live in the American culture of death penalties and war though, so
it is hard for me to grasp the thought process that allows it to continue.
