The bigger picture?
I'm curious how this will change things. I mean, will the actions of the Chinese Govt. make for a more accountable government or will all the pressure just affect the the general public more than those whose really had the power to prevent this mess? I don't think they will learn anything or change attitudes with what happened. They maybe more embarrassed than feel somewhat part of the problem enough to do something about it. It doesn't help when the president and his aids make a ton of excuses instead of owning up to mistakes (setting an example). Accusing Enthusiastically is more likely to make people defensive than, than taking the time to consider the situation and making the proper course of action.
In the end, what are 8 pointless deaths? We can't even provide swift justice to the Maguindanao Massacre victims.
I think the Philippines is so rock bottom that, even if we fall farther nothing will change. We need to earn something, to finally reap some rewards and change before we feel loss enough to adapt to a new situation.
