Charles Krauthammer speaks for this segment of the population, arguing in a recent syndicated column that people have a lot to learn from Singapore's plan to bastinado 18-year-old Michael Fay, and denouncing mindless civil libertarianism as the cause of America's social ills. Assemblies of more than five persons in public, including political meetings and rallies, must have police permission in Singapore. The Government has extensive powers which it uses to place formidable obstacles in the path of political opponents.
