۞ 原始的欢愉 We are the master of the planet,

yet we are the slaves of primitive pleasure ۝ TAGS Frankenstein Frankenstein Frankenstein是Mary Shelley写的小说，后来被改编成电影，故事的主题讲述的是科学进步，不知道是将人推向繁荣还是毁灭。后来被广泛地用于类比人类的自我毁灭行为。广义上的Frankenstein能用于更多的地方，自杀性的Cult、比如大卫教，拒绝生育的丁克，和覆盖在正义的名义下面的的谋杀。 China executes 650: Amnesty CHINA, which puts more people to death than the rest of the world combined, has executed at least 650 in the two months leading up to the Lunar New Year, rights group Amnesty International said. The executions reached a fearful crescendo in the last two weeks before the holiday, when 200 people were put to death, according to the London-based organisation, which based its data on official Chinese media reports. "The true figure is certainly much higher, as China refuses to publish full details of all the people it executes," Amnesty said in a statement on China's "horrific New Year." China usually executes large numbers of convicted criminals before major public holidays in order to warn pickpockets, con artists and others who might try to take advantage of large crowds gathering in public spaces. The scare tactics is especially used for the week-long Lunar New Year holiday, which began today. It is the biggest festival in the Chinese calendar, with hundreds of millions traveling, shopping and sightseeing. "There is a huge gap between policy and practice with regard to the death penalty in China," said Catherine Baber, deputy Asia director at Amnesty International. "While the government claims that the death penalty is applied cautiously, the ritual peak in executions we're witnessing at the moment completely undermines any pretence of caution." Amnesty cited Chinese media reports justifying the execution of ten or more people at a time as a way to "protect social stability, and ensure that people can have a safe, joyful and happy new year." "No convincing evidence has ever been produced that the death penalty deters would-be criminals more effectively than any other punishment," said Ms Baber. "To suggest executions 'protect social stability' is a dangerous misconception." The government keeps the total number of executions a closely guarded secret, but in Wednesday's statement Amnesty cited a court in eastern Qingdao city that had exceptionally revealed the number of people put to death in 2004. "Fifty-seven people died at this single court, one of almost 400 empowered to pass and carry out the death penalty - implying an astronomical number of executions across the whole of China each year," Amnesty said. 删节了最后两段，全文可以到 这里 来看。因为时间的原因，所以没有翻译。 Trackback Url: http://www.blogbus.com/public/tb.php/1078148 ۝ Posted by primitive @ 14:58 Trackback_0 Edit Response eMail b01156124@hotmail.com Name makzhou Date 2005-03-24 22:11 Url makzhou.blogbus.com Frankenstein是一个悲伤的故事也是个悲哀的故事。人类挑战自然的准则最后的落得了家破人亡的结局，而站在Frankenstein的角度，把它制造出来的人却拒绝认同它。心中的愤怒与悲伤无法抑止，最终逃到了北方。 primitive 回复 makzhou 说： 我反对把这叫做“挑战自然”，我可以把攀登喜马拉雅山或者北极探险叫做挑战自然，但是这不是，包括乱引进物种导致生态失衡，包括胡乱改变基因--你见过天生无毛的鸡吗？仅仅是为了不用拔毛，方便一些。这不是Challenging自然，这是tempering自然。
