“I'm your genie, I'm your friend, I'm your willing slave.
Take a chance, just feed me and...
You know the kind of eats, the kind of red hot treats, the kind of sticky, licky sweets I crave...”
Note: This post could also be subtitled, “Why I should not stay up late reading headlines and be left to my own, sleep-deprived thoughts.”
While I don’t approve of the execution of a food and drug safety monitor for messing up his job, I’d wager the effect might be pretty noteworthy, at least in the short run.
Imagine how many elected officials in the United States would be less likely to take bribes if they knew they could be killed for it.
Of course some people would still go for the deal, even with the death threat looming; they would simply ask for more money to do so.
Between those scared off by the thought of death, and groups economically pushed out by the rising price of the bribe, there would be less corruption to worry about.
Just a thought.
