Here's how. Hong Kong is part of China, yeah, but it was (under one country two systems) an autonomous part, with its own constitution, law and judiciary, which was democractic. What makes a state? Territory, legal and executive autono

There is a Decemberists refrain about the reaction to 9/11, the war on terror: "Because America can, and America can't say no." Or at least, I thought it stood for that, at the time. Part of a solution may be to introduc

The problem is that police are being involved in the job of social workers. I guess it would be an acceptable and useful system if: - Police had write-only access to the database. - Police had no involvement in interventions. - Anyone was a
